What a diabolical state of affairs. This decision seemingly opens up the floodgates once again to unscrupulous practices all round. The CSC, Lawyer and Marketing Agent can now get away with:
- ignoring vital steps marked out in the various LTSA Schedules
- hoodwinking owners about the DC
- disregarding their own Terms of Engagement when it suits them and
- absolving themselves from all blame and repercussion if the fault lies upon bad legal advice
Is there no litmus test for legal advice? Can all missteps and bungles be swept under the carpet simply because the bunglers were lawyers? Where does the buck stop?
If there is any justice left in the world, please let this be overturned at some higher court - or collective sales will be in danger of disintegrating into a comedy of farce and deliberate error - obliterating the past 10 years of solid work put into cleaning up the practice.
If not, then it will be back to the bad ol' days of cowboy shenanigans in the next wave of collective sales. ( I think the present wave is over)
