It's even worse: they're still fighting hard against the appeals, heaping more misery on the people trying to turn their lives around!
- miohtama 3y agoSounds like lawyers are at the driving seat

- dccoolgai 3y agoIANAL but in my experience, the lawyers would say "doublecheck everything and if we're wrong, pay them so I don't have to spend a lot of effort litigating this". No, I would bet it's a combination of PR flacks and MBA/C-levels who would rather ruin lives than take a clear L on their record.

- mcguire 3y agoLawyers don't like losing cases.
- scott_w 3y agoThis is the leadership instructing the lawyers to fight the case. They can stop it at any time but they choose to continue the misery of their victims instead of admitting fault.
- LaundroMat 3y agoEffort = income, so I don't see why certain lawyers would not be willing to do the case.
- dan-robertson 3y agoWhat exactly does ‘fighting hard’ mean? I got the impression that the judges weren’t very impressed with at least some of their appearances in court.
- ndsipa_pomu 3y agoThey're hiding/losing evidence such as emails and refusing to answer questions.
- tuukkah 3y agoThey hire expensive lawyers who are experts in making black look white.
- scott_w 3y agoI think you highlighted it right there. They’re fighting even the slam dunk appeals, which is fucking disgusting, in my opinion.
- lozenge 3y agoThey offer token settlements, require the victim to provide lots of evidence they wouldn't have, and expect them to pay for their own lawyers to invoke legal arcana that would get them a just compensation. https://www.taxpolicy.org.uk/2024/01/11/hss_scandal/ https://www.taxpolicy.org.uk/2024/01/11/hss_scandal/
