I have had my second conversation in a fortnight with a firm facing a Duty Solicitor compliance check. It is the usual “have you done the majority of your slots and 12 attendances at the Police Station in the last 12 months?” questioning.
Now I understand that this has been a bone of contention between the LSC and TLS for some time and, of course, has never (quite rightly) become a Key Performance Indicator. There is also an argument that the LSC have no contractual right for this disclosure – however many do not want to antagonise the Commission by making such a refusal.
If you have one of these “Self Declaration” forms in front of you and want a chat just pick up the phone.
