<td> legal advice

The members refute any suggestion that they acted in any way that was unprofessional," a joint statement from the boards said on Friday. Yesterday we responded to a media inquiry from The Courier-Mail regarding statements in the Legal Services Commission’s annual report. Despite the tight timeframes – 2.5 hours to review an 86 page annual report – we provided information which was requested and so were disappointed with today’s outcome. It is somewhat disingenuous to highlight “The Commission received complaints about 413 solicitors” without any reference to this being a small proportion of the 9920 solicitors who hold Queensland practising certificates.
