Call for Legal Services Board to investigate unfair contracts

The Legal Services Board should investigate contracts insurers try to impose of non-panel solicitors, a letter writer to the Law Society Gazette has demanded.

Howard Shelley said the contracts make “the average commercial lease look like The Dandy”. He said the terms “would have placed me in a situation where I would have been in breach of my duty to the client”.

“Whether you advocate or oppose referral fees (I am opposed), such unsavoury tactics must be addressed by the Legal Services Board,” he wrote.
