    I do not see why not., you have placed it in the public domain.  

    Let us all put pressure on this company and advice our clients to consider complaints against all these down markets firms.

    Interesting move forward. I wonder what the SRA are focusing on?
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    I hope that it is conduct likely to bring the profession into disrepute.  Have you seen this their Trust Pilot reviews?

    I would add it in for the hearing and if you've already done a WS, send it with a supplementary WS.

    I received  an email too.  I didn’t say because mine said confidential pending the outcome - plus I wanted to share really good news if the SRA does take action (which it may not).   I do have an alert on all the Gladstones’ companies and most have moved from the address High Legh Golf Club which I said was not secure enough to store hard copies of personal data.

    Hi all, not sure whether I should be happy or not but my hearing which was due on Monday has been postponed again due to no judge being available on that day.
    Atleast it gives me more time to prepare myself, on the other hand I want it to end soon.

    Thanks

    They have discontinued ??   WELL DONE :)

    Why do Gladstones waste their time and money on the impossible ..... A mystery ?
