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.
It never ceases to amaze me the things some school governing bodies do! It is crazy to sue the council!

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.
