whoa whoa wait a minute! My Law Society Gazette has just been posted with the article on that website Rick Kordowski says:

Law firms can pay £299 to have current and future traces of their name removed from the site. Alternatively, they can pay between £99 and £199 to have specific postings deleted. Visitors are charged a fee for posting a complaint about a firm.

Kodowski said that any income is spent on unkeep of the site. "I do not have the time or resources to look at the arguments from both sides, or monitor all postings for free" he said "so I have deviseda quick way for solicitors to end the matter and help me maintain the system.

The smarter firms and solicitors soon realise it's cheaper to pay for administration and monitoring of the posting rather than pay for representation, High Court writs, bonds etcetera. Even the largest central London firms have realised I am acting within the law and have ended the matter this way

What a bloody cheek! Surely the Law Society must be able to do something about this?
