§ 38. Mr. R. C. MORRISONasked the Attorney-General whether he is aware of the comments of Judge Owen Thompson, K.C., at Bow County Court, on 2nd December, when dealing with a judgment summons for £41 17s., that the defendant had been induced to bring an action for damages regarding a street injury to his child by misleading statements issued by a legal claims society; and whether he will inquire into the case with a view to instituting proceedings against the person or persons responsible for the organisation to which the judge referred?
§ The SOLICITOR-GENERALI am obliged to the hon. Gentleman for bringing this matter to my attention. I will make inquiries into it and communicate with the hon. Gentleman.
§ Mr. MORRISONWill the hon. and learned Gentleman bear in mind that this is by no means an isolated case?
§ The SOLICITOR-GENERALI am fully aware of that, but I can assure the hon. Member that it is not as simple a matter as it appears. I can assure him that the matter is being closely looked into.
