A midlands solicitor who has been suspended from practising and had his bank accounts frozen has told the High Court that he has "never benefited from" or taken money from any of his client accounts.

THE Law Society has hit out against the High Court after criticisms of it in the wake of high profile cases of solicitors manipulating mortgage applications.

THE decision of the Law Society not to pursue a complaint of double billing against one of its members, in the case of a victim of child abuse who was made an award through the Residential Institutions Redress Board (RIRB), is very disturbing.
