Everyone’s at it. Now the Law Society has launched a JR of the LSC in respect of their tender process in family matters. See the Gazette. As reported yesterday another JR application yesterday got off to a positive start, with Collins J describing the LSC’s approach as irrational. That matter was adjourned off for 8 days. So that’s 2 JRs, and if Nearly Legal is right (see yesterday’s post) there may be more to come. Who says there’s no legal news in August?
The Law Society have been granted an expedited hearing and the LSC are to extend current contracts by one month (I understand to the 14 Nov 10). Where that leaves us is anyone’s guess.

Ah – have only just seen your comment. I just found out about this from another source and have posted it here.
