As a layman, I approached the SLCC regarding misleading information provided to the court by a legal firm. Throughout the proceedings, I found myself correcting blatant errors and inconsistencies. The SLCC's investigation concluded that solicitors could rely on client statements, allowing misconduct to go unchecked. This raises serious concerns about the SLCC's ability to support individuals against legal professionals. Their claims of impartiality seem unfounded, and I believe further examination of their processes is needed.
