Where is the evidence that solicitors do not believe they are subject to
the law? Is this not a subjective opinion? I would have thought that
there must be thousands of solicitors practising in England and one or
two have now been fined.
Most practising solicitors do not earn high-flying salaries - I
regularly see adverts for solicitors in the north-east every week with
salary ranges between £22,000 & £35,000 pa - on par with DPA officers??
I would have thought that £6,000 was quite a hefty and serious fine to a
small practice ( coupled with the costs of a trial) especially if it is
not covered by insurance and there may be professional consequences that
follow on.
