There is a cosy consensus in the legal profession here particularly in Troubles-related cases. It holds sway over the police and the judiciary and Bar Council and it consists of the belief that they are free to do what they like unless put in hock to clients for unpaid damages or arrested for illegal conversion. Not so,if they have defamed their client or when a particularly astute litigant is awarded damages and completely exonerated by the Supreme Court or dies because of their actions or negligence or habitual drunkenness.
....
A letter to the Chief Constable or Sinn Fein,better still the SDLP (or both) or a letter to the Chairman of the Bar Council will soon put them in danger of dismissal or having their status,at least temporarily,prorogued.
Another non sequitur. There is no such thing,be you pauper or prince,of escaping due process,the rule of law and legal or journalistic or press scrutiny in a law-governed state and modern democracy..
