Wonder what our occasional legal expert 'Boring' (aka 'Bored' on the Edinburgh forum, I presume) means by the highlighted text:

Quote:
My Name is Jonny Nisbet. I am now an Associate with Brodies LLP Solicitors. I am indebted to the taxi trade for allowing me to get to that position. Accordingly, I have the trade's interests at my the heart and will do what I can to defend and promote the same. If only you all had the same mindset, you could all make more money for less effort. More the happy to debate this matter.

It means he sees an opportunity to make money, for Brodies LLP Solicitors. However, if he is willing to wear his heart on his sleeve, and do the work pro-bono, or only take full payment upon getting results. I think it would be a good idea to enlist his services, at least to the point where he proves himself, one way or the other. :-|

I wouldn't pay him a penny up front. :-|

You see that's the problem with lawyers, they get paid regardless of whether they win or lose. For the most part, I think it's a profession full of scam artists, just out to line their own pockets. :-|

Which is fair enough, but don't [edited by admin] down my back and tell me it's raining? :-|

Thanks. I thought sacl had gone to the wall.

Winning to a lawyer is the cash he deposits.

Certainly in civil litigation, there is no imperative to win for the client.

As for our erstwhile hero, wanna bet his take on the trade matches the status quo that has got it so wrong for so long?

:roll:

Aye, he should change his name to, Johnny-come-lately, especially, if he's working with Brodies. It looks to me like he's looking at lining up lambs to the slaughter, but you never know, perhaps we're judging him too harshly. :roll:
