Expect fireworks from Judge Briss in his forthcoming judgement, he's rather masterly ;)
He didn't disappoint, as expected

Typically, judges do not demand "wasted costs" from legal representatives.

 

"If ever there was a case with conduct out of the norm it was this one," said Judge Birss, which seemed to indicate that ACS:Law may cop a hefty pay-out bill

For lay readers, "conduct out of the norm" for a solicitor is reeeally baaad :twisted:

Annoyingly, the parasitic Crossley will probably walk away without paying a penny in costs (what's the betting he'll register himself as bankrupt).
That man is professionally finished, regardless.

 

Only waiting for the SRA's decision now and, with Birss J. comment, IMO there's scant doubt he's going to get the full once-over from the SRA: they'll want to make sure he's as pilloried and ostracised as publicly as possible, for PR damage control.

Just to update this story.

 

Crossley has been fined just £1000 by the ICO over the breach.

 

Information Commissioner Christopher Graham said that the severity of the breach warranted a heavier fine.

 

But he added that Mr Crossley was not in a position to pay.

 

"Were it not for the fact that ACS:Law has ceased trading so that Mr Crossley now has limited means, a monetary penalty of £200,000 would have been imposed, given the severity of the breach."

I bet the Scottish woman caught downloading material from the internet wont be getting the fine reduced if she can't afford to pay it.
