Also, monkeys might fly out of my butt. Lord f
kwit is claiming to have obtained an injunction against the SRA. This is odd because, er, he hasn't, as far as anyone on Planet Earth can tell. I have absolutely no sympathy for anyone who tries to mislead a judge (as "recklessly" here can only be nice speak for "deliberately").
Even giving the idiot huge margins of benefit of doubt and presumptions of innocence he looks well bang to rights on any number of serious beefs. He will probably join the unregulated sector as a full time Mckenzie friend, and probably charge people for doing so. Although hilarious in parts, this is no laughing matter, really. A man went to jail for probably longer than he need have done because of this clown's dangerous incompetence. Perhaps more importantly, that man's innocent victim's family were put through needless stress by a trial that should never have happened, again because of Blacker's incompetence and vanity.

To be clear, Andrzej Wojcicki had engaged the good Lord's services no less than five times on various matters, so this is not a case of someone drawing the short straw and getting a dodgy brief, but a man who repeatedly decided that Lord stty was the best man for the job.It is often the cases that clients deserve their lawyers and lawyers deserve their clients. My sympathies lie with the family and friends of the cyclist whom Wojcicki killed. Wojcicki himself is evidently a scumbag, based on his attempt to weasel out of his responsibility for the fatal collision.

Back in the news! Couldn't attend his tribunal today as it clashed with his birthday.

Real lawyers: how does this sort of arse get away with it?
He has flown under the radar for a long time, clearly; now they're bringing a tribunal he's tried as hard as he can to tie them in knots. They're still going to strike him off.How would you deal with someone who behaves like this:
I'll just drop this here and get back to work:-

The question of costs and the SDT is always going to be a difficult one and is only likely to get more so over the years.
There is a massive inequality of arms in these cases in the first place in almost all (but not quite all) cases that are brought and then you have to consider the validity and public interest in many cases.
One example is in relation to the partners of a Firm who were find for 'failing to properly supervise' their accountants clerk who stole money from the Client Account and i think also the office account. So not only have they had all of the issues that would lead from the incident in the first place but have also now been given about £10k in costs and fines on top of that - neither fair nor just.
Frankly we are in a position at the minute where the Law Society is a toothless tiger and the SRA does nothing more than continually try to prosecute, rather than regulate in a clear and balanced way, the profession.
Looking at the things that we can/can't do these days that could lead to us losing our PC's (and in some cases liberty) it is a wonder that half the profession hasn't checked out already.
It also seriously bothers me that in all these years of witnessing some absolutely appalling processes and conveyancing from bucket shops that i have yet to see much, if any evidence, of them being brought to account by any regulator.
