Stobarts launch legal service

The Law Gazette report that the logistics company known for its distinctive Eddie Stobart lorries has launched a legal service to help the public cut the cost of legal disputes by linking clients directly with barristers without the need for a solicitor.

Stobart Barristers, part of the Stobart Group, says it has a panel of over 1,000 barristers, juniors and QCs, across the UK offering businesses and individuals help in all areas of law. It provides a fixed-fee service, through a ‘pay-as-you-go’ model during the litigation process, giving the client control of the process and enabling them to end it after each stage.

Stobart offers pay-as-you-go barristers - but no plans to be ABS

There’s a joke in there somewhere.

Articulated barristers?

I’m having no truck with it.

You lot are driving me up the wall.

I hear that Ian Lawrie QC is also a past master at driving a coach and horses through the relevant regulations and is in the vanguard of the movement for reform of the law on busking.

What a load of rubbish puns.

What’s rubbish bins got to do with it?

I’m glad I was out of the office on Friday or I would have been tempted to suggest that the lorry firm would be better off going straight to the Cab.

Sorry John!

Assuming none of you are from a haulage/delivery background and therefore missed the vital word **Load**

Obviously my pun was heavily disguised. Either that is it was Tarpaulin.

Should have multi-dropped a few hints enroute

Was it a puntechnican?

This is driving me round the bend.

Are you Harpic?
