Fat Lawyers

Bet the only people to benefit from the tower blocks fiasco are the lawyers.

Re: Fat Lawyers

A certain percentage yes but I've been lucky I guess to know many who do work for free for vulnerable people so I tend to think the ambulance chasers are not that nice but those in general practice may be fleecing richer clients to fund their free work. I'm not sure I actually have a problem with that as so many are locked out of the justice system because they can't afford legal representation.

Re: Fat Lawyers

Hi

It is the same companies who manufacture all three classes of cladding.

They will be in for a windfall when the combustible stuff is replaced with the non combustible stuff.

Re: Fat Lawyers

Lawyers will be busy with claims against councils from tenants for loss of earnings, tower block management committees claiming for incurred expenses, loss of health through accidents. Councils claiming against central government and against tenants and building companies for shoddy work. The list goes on.....
