The Law Society has rules preventing advertising. For good reasons of competition a previous Government permitted advertising on radio and television. However it reached a stage where solicitors placed advertisements in the Golden Pages advising people they could get compensation on a no foal, no fee basis. This attracted a considerable number of claims and added to the cost of insurance. Some companies are still advertising. On Shannonside Radio on Monday I heard an advertisement from a company in Athlone. It was not advocating that it would get compensation, but the general tone of the advertisement was to encourage people to go to that company to put in a claim. The Law Society will have to clamp down on this type of practice. There is a ban on no foal no fee advertising, but there are numerous examples of it being practised. It is important that it is stamped out. If a person risks nothing in going to law and putting forward a claim, there is no incentive for him or her not to claim on the basis that legal fees are covered and compensation is paid by an insurance company.
