Compo solicitors may test ads ban legality in court
Alan Synnott, principal of Lawline personal injury solicitors, yesterday indicated that colleagues in the profession were preparing to challenge the new rules, which some solicitors felt could infringe on their constitutional rights. Advertising by solicitors blamed for boosting the so-called compensation culture will be severely restricted from February 1. The rules were drawn up by the Law Society, the solicitors' own governing body, and signed by Justice Minister Michael
McDowell last week.
