I represented workers for a number of years and it was not uncommon for them to think I slept with their cases 24-7 just because they did. However, there have been cases where a solicitor passed away and left a plethora of work behind. Nobody was sure where anything was. If complainants are advised that they have 30 days to pursue their cases, at least they can go back to their representative, ask what is happening to their case and find that it was lost as a result of somebody dying or leaving a firm. It is a reasonable amendment and it will not result in a significant additional administrative work.
