Episode Synopsis

It is a criminal offence and contempt of court to carry out ‘a reserved legal activity’ unless you are entitled to do so. In other words: thou shall not conduct litigation unless you are a solicitor.

The High Court in London recently considered a case of a paralegal and an honest mistake.
