Compensation Bill [Lords]

The hon. Gentleman mentioned decisions of the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal. Does that not highlight the need to strengthen the law whereby a consumer complaint can go through a caseworker, to an adjudication panel, to a solicitors disciplinary tribunal, as is the case with Raleys—and now it has the option of appealing to the High Court—whereas the consumer has no option but to appeal to the legal ombudsman at the very first stage? Should there not be more powers to allow the Law Society immediately to strike off solicitors such as Raleys, who refuse to abide by the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal’s decisions?
