I’m sure the 117 cases of sexual misconduct the SRA are investigating at this moment are all made up.
Literally, 117 solicitors who never met one another at firms up and down the UK all woke up one morning and thought life would be more fun if they called the SRA and made a spurious complaint for no reason.
That’s so logical, isn’t it? Makes total sense!
