The Firm Magazine reported today on up to date position re ESTO Collapse and GBA position:-

Which Is: -

The Glasgow Bar Association have been approached by many members and non-members in Glasgow and by representatives of several other faculties regarding their concerns over issues relevant to ESTO Law Ltd. 

The Directors of said company have four past members of the Law Society of Scotland’s Criminal Legal Aid Negotiating Team and one current member.  The concerns that arise are fairly obvious in respect that we now have a situation where past and present negotiators for the profession have been involved in the negotiations which lead to the current Regulations that are in place.  In such circumstances it seems reasonable to call upon said Directors to provide details of the agencies they have met with and to provide information relevant to the timing of those meetings. 

Past President Kenneth Waddell .......................

In October 2010 the Cabinet Secretary for Justice....................

The Law Society has changed the format of CPD

The guidelines which we circulated earlier this year have been amended

Will take place on 2nd March 2012 at Admiral Bar, Glasgow at 7.30pm
