Legal Services Regulation Bill 2011: Committee Stage
10:30 am
Denis O'Donovan (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
I understand that all these powers are necessary, but will the Minister indicate whether there is any mechanism within the authority that could conduct preliminary investigations? Sometimes vexatious or frivolous complaints can be made for inappropriate reasons with the motive of targeting a particular solicitor or office. A sledgehammer does not have to be used to crack a nut. Is there a way that those complaints could be filtered out, set aside and dealt with quickly rather than having to go through the whole process?
