A solicitor wrote to us about the cost incurred by the State relative to the Office of the Chief State Solicitor in defending cases that are withdrawn for one reason or another. Like the procurement issue, perhaps we should speak to individuals and the solicitor who gave us information to determine if there is a case to be answered. We can contact them and ask for further information for members. There is a letter dating back some time and it should be followed up. Is the Office of the Chief State Solicitor under our remit?
