Thanks for this.

My comment is as follows: you mean "lawyers" or "solicitors"?  My daughter has a Master's Degree in law and she is a solicitor.  So, I ask:  what kind of lawyer and at what level?  The reason I ask is that most people regard "lawyer" as different from "solicitor".  Do you mean "barrister", "solicitor advocate" or whatever?

As an aside cp, we are both well aware of a certain lawyer's flawed advice given to one London Borough re bus lane contraventions!

Finally, I know for a fact that "lawyers" do not study parking law as part of their degree - reverting back to my daughter's degrees, whose theses I edited occasionally!

There are known knowns which, had we known, we would never have wished to know. It is known that this also applies to the known unknowns. However, when one attends a hearing, Mr Rumsfeld's idea that there are also unknown unknowns fails to apply because, anyone who is in the know, knows that unknown unknowns are purely a deception otherwise known as an aleatory experience or also known as a lottery. I know that I know this to be a fact and, in this knowledge, I know that I am fully prepared to present my case but, paradoxically, in full knowledge that the unknown unknowns may well apply in view of some adjudicators' lack of knowing what they ought to know.

In my experience, “lawyer” is used as a term encompassing all qualified lawyers, e.g. barristers, solicitors and so forth.

Ultimately, who cares?

Finally

I think that there is also a difference of opinion regarding the meaning of the word "finally".

No, it’s pretty universal. Lawyer is used as a catch all term to describe all shades of legal professionals. But still - who cares?

Indeed. My next door neighbour is a "lawyer". She is a solicitor - well qualified and has been practising for years. But she hasn't a clue what a NIP or a s172 request is. She came to me for advice and a view on the likely outcome when her husband received one earlier this year.

"Legal Advice" is not the sole preserve of lawyers (though there is one occasional correspondent on Pepipoo who would love us to believe otherwise!  ;D)

Well fortunately I had the foresight of clarifying my position in my signature below, so that should minimise the scope for confusion.

That being said, we have at least two qualified lawyers in our ranks and I am yet to see an instance where someone has been given advice, either here or on pepipoo, which if given by a lawyer could have been described as negligently given.

Well, there was the Maidstone case last year which was rescued by a certain member on pepipoo.  The same member, indeed, has rescued two other cases contrary to the general advice of the forum - both reviews.

Nobody is infallible.

I'm not sure the JSCs would agree, but none of them have joined our ranks.

I am about to report a barrister for his incompetence and "curvature of the word" and, indeed, attempts to intimidate a client of mine through the stating of complete and utterly vexatious untruth.  Yet alone the dysfunctional state of his parking services while on his watch.
