Why Is A School Using Libel Lawyers?

On BBC London News this evening, there has been a story about a primary school, using well-known libel lawyers to sue their local council for damages over something written in a report. I didn’t get the full story, but I shall be watching later tonight and searching the papers in the morning.

After all, as a taxpayer, I don’t like schools wasting money and hiring libel lawyers definitely comes under that category.

C  did her first pupillage as a barrister in libel chambers and it never ceased to amaze her how much money was wasted by clients in cases.

    • The truth will come out in the end. It always does. The trouble is that people will never admit they’ve made a mistake and will do anything to keep their reputation, so they can command gold-plated salaries. look at all the legal action after Baby P. The next lawyers’ beanfeast down here will be the Health Trust going bust in South London.
