The Gazette joins in the climb down over civil fixed fees theme we have been pushing all week.
The bit I like is;
"Speaking to reporters after addressing delegates, Lord Falconer conceded that the government has ‘realised there are significant problems’ with fixed fees and that the figures put out by the Legal Services Commission ‘did not work’."
The e-Gazette does not reproduce the front page photo so here he is in panto last year.
This is a link to what the LC actualy said, listen carefully. A BBC journalist who spoke the the DCA to question the LS assertion that civil fixed fees have been scrapped was told that this was not the case, simply that the Govn was not convinced the scheme was yet right.
