Miners' lawyers lose ban appeal

Solicitors who took millions of pounds from compensation payouts given to sick miners have lost their appeal against being struck off for misconduct.

James Beresford and Douglas Smith, formerly of Doncaster-based Beresfords Solicitors, had denied 11 counts of serious professional misconduct.

A tribunal last year found eight of the allegations against them proven.

Three High Court judges have now upheld the tribunal decision to strike them off the Roll of Solicitors.

The Solicitors' Disciplinary Tribunal was told last year that the men had acted "unacceptably" by charging clients even though the government was paying their fees.

The partners were later struck off the Roll of Solicitors for conduct unbefitting solicitors.

'Vulnerable clients'

High Court judges ruled on Wednesday that the tribunal had been entitled to make "a cumulative series of findings of very serious misconduct on a huge scale in relation to thousands of vulnerable clients".

Beresford, 59, who was said in 2007 to be one of Britain's highest-earning solicitors, and Smith, 53, made millions of pounds from personal injury claims for miners under the government's coal health compensation scheme.

They were accused of not giving adequate advice and entering into contingency fee deals against their clients' best interests.

The tribunal heard that up to 30% of a miner's damages could be deducted by Beresfords.

'Nothing wrong'

The law firm had argued there was "absolutely nothing wrong" with earning substantial fees from its business conduct.

The compensation scheme was set up by the government to settle group legal actions for damages after the High Court ruled in 1998 that British Coal was liable in negligence for causing serious debilitating diseases in miners.

The scheme related to hundreds of thousands of claims from former miners and their families and involved the Department of Trade and Industry agreeing to pay lawyers' fees in successful cases. In unsuccessful cases miners did not have to bear costs.

Beresford and Smith's joint earnings went from about £182,000 in 2000 to £23,273,256 in 2006, the tribunal heard.

Simon McMillan, a partner at Beresfords Solicitors, said: "This is a matter that concerns two former partners who left the business over 12 months ago.

"They will no doubt be carefully considering their options as to what steps to take to clear their names."

Settling a Personal Injury Claim
By Jonathan L Walker

A personal injury amount that is eventually settled upon, is the amount that an individual is awarded in the event of a court deciding that another party is responsible for that persons injury. The amount awarded is dependent on the extent of the damage. Should the case not go to court, then the amount decided will be based on what the insurance company and your legal representative, think would be the sum decided upon by a jury in a court.

The claim quantity is determined by various things, such as the severity of injury, and also the financial losses incurred, due to the injury. Other things considered are the integrity of evidence and the extent of damage overall. It is then a case of the insurance adjuster and your representative discussing an approximate amount with you. A personal injury representative is going to be wise to how much the case is worth, as they would have had prior experience.

As aforementioned, the amount that is settled on for the personal injury will be dependent on the seriousness of the injury, but it is also down to the time that a victim was receiving treatment for, the amount of permanent tissue damage, the amount of work that has been missed, the amount of pay lost, the effect on the victims lifestyle, and loss of ability to work. These sort of cases fluctuate greatly in terms of how much compensation is given. In some cases it can be under a thousand pounds. In others it can be millions.

The person or party at fault during the occurrence of the injury is something that can cause fluctuation in terms of the settlement amount. People are often intrigued as to how much they will receive, but am amount can only be offered, once the adjuster and your representative has predicted the quantity that a court would decide upon. This is usually decided upon, subsequently to reviewing witness accounts and overall testimony strength. It is in the best interest for you legal representative to get you the highest amount of settlement as possible, as this has an effect on the amount that your representative receives.

Legal bid to bunker Trump plans

A pensioner has launched a legal challenge in a bid to stop Donald Trump building a golf course on her land.

Molly Forbes is seeking an interim interdict over the decision to grant planning permission for five pockets of land not owned by Mr Trump's company.

The company had previously said it did not require the land for its leisure and golf development in Aberdeenshire.

In a statement, Donald Trump said he intended to vigorously defend any challenge.

The case is being brought by the 84-year-old, from Menie, at the Court of Session in Edinburgh.

Papers lodged with the court claim Aberdeenshire Council did not determine the planning applications correctly, and that Trump Golf Links Scotland did not give enough information about why it now needs the land.

But Mr Trump said the claims were "misguided" and not based on fact.

'Think again'

He added: "Our applications have been the most scrutinised submissions in Scottish planning history and I am sure that the Aberdeenshire Council, which voted almost unanimously in support of them, is proud of their actions."

He accused Mrs Forbes's son Michael - a vocal opponent of the resort - of exploiting his elderly mother to further his cause.

Mrs Forbes, who has lived in her home on the Menie Estate for six years, said: "Mr Trump has been granted planning permission to demolish my home, but I do not wish to sell, and I do not wish to be forced out.

"My legal team will argue that Aberdeenshire Council have failed to follow correct procedures, and that the permissions granted therefore cannot stand.

"This is a major development by anyone's standards, including the formal standards set by the local authority, and as such they were obliged to refer decisions to the full council.

"They have failed in this obligation, and in their rush to allow the project to go ahead they have grievously let down local residents."

Mrs Forbes added: "I never expected in my life to face eviction from my home, let alone for a golf course.

"This is not a battle I would ever have sought, but Mr Trump and Aberdeenshire Council should know that I will never give up, and I urge them to think again."

Mrs Forbes is being represented by the Environmental Law Centre Scotland, a charity offering legal advice and help on environmental matters.

SNP signals debate legal threat

The SNP may take legal action if Alex Salmond is not allowed to take part in a UK party leader TV debate ahead of the next General Election.

The BBC, ITV and BSkyB jointly proposed three live debates between the Labour, Tory and Liberal Democrat leaders.

SNP Finance Secretary John Swinney said going to court was not being ruled out, but said it was more preferable to come to an agreement with the broadcasters.

Opposition parties accused the SNP of bullying tactics.

Tory leader David Cameron and Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg have welcomed a TV debate, while Gordon Brown has now said he was willing "in principle" to take part.

Mr Cameron has told the BBC he wants a respected independent figure to oversee the negotiations for the TV debates.

'Depriving voters'

But the SNP has threatened to seek to block the screening in Scotland of any debate which did not include Scottish First Minister Mr Salmond.

Mr Swinney told BBC Scotland's Politics show the SNP was the party of government at Holyrood, adding that the UK debates would discuss issues of importance to Scotland, such as the future of nuclear submarines on the Clyde.

Mr Swinney said the SNP was prepared to be flexible, saying of the current arrangements: "It deprives the voters in Scotland of hearing the breadth of political choice that quite clearly exists here in Scotland about the input of Scotland into the UK General Election."

On the issue of legal action, he added: "That might be a possibility, but, long before we get to that judgement, we have to have full and open discussions with the broadcasters about the arrangements that can be put in place."

Also speaking on the programme, shadow Scottish secretary David Mundell said it was not appropriate for Mr Salmond to take part in a debate about who should be the prime minister of Britain.

Labour described the SNP's option of going to court as a "sinister threat", and claimed, along with the Liberal Democrats, the Nationalists were attempting to bully broadcasters.

The broadcasters have said they would each seek "to make suitable arrangements for ensuring due impartiality across the UK", but have not yet explained how that would be achieved.
