THE SPEED VERSUS JUSTICE ISSUE
There is also the concern about what happens to justice when “fast” becomes a tribunal’s watchword. The UK Court of Appeal has recently provided us with a timely word of caution.

Critics of ABS have consistently maintained that the corporatization of law firms does not serve clients as well as a more traditional legal practice model. Indeed, lawyers are governed by professional standards and ethics which require counsel to avoid conflicts and act in the best interests of the client.
