It is a crime to cover up a crime. I honestly believe that the Solicitor's Regulation Authority (SRA) are not fit for purpose. The basis of this view is my experience of their suspected deliberate use of delays in refusing to deal with complaints which would hold solicitors to account for failing to act on concerns raised regarding actual financial, psychological and physical abuse of a vulnerable adult. They deliberately had their rules weakened in 2019 to excuse them from the costly 'inconvenience' of any kind of duty of care over their clients. Now they can't or won't do anything when solicitors enable and ignore domestic abuse so they just employ delay tactics and conduct half-hearted and incomplete reviews. This runs directly against intent of the Domestic Abuse Act 2021. Yes, delays can now be used intentionally as a weapon against whistleblowers. This tactic, often referred to as "stonewalling" or "delaying tactics," can be a form of retaliation, undermining the whistleblower's efforts and discouraging them from continuing to speak out. I think they wanted me to fade away or give up. Good luck with that one. We are all responsible for our behaviour to others, solicitor or not.
