Public Complaints Unit is accessible via the Court website strictly concerns complaints on the administration of justice of the Judiciary throughout the country. As indicated in the website, its objective is to resolve any such public complaint applicable only to the administration of justice, and is not an Advisory or Legal Advice Unit.
As such, we are unable to provide Legal Advice to you on this issue as this is beyond our jurisdiction. The issue that your company is facing with the contractual partner is a private contractual issue. Therefore, you are best advised by a lawyer.
A lawyer is entitled to charge fees as he deems fit for a particular matter. We understand that the amount may be high. However, we are unable to comment any further on this issue as the appropriate body to contact would be the Bar Council, as it deals with all complaints made against an Advocate & Solicitor.
We also wish to bring to your attention that you may consider referring your queries to the Bar Council Legal Aid Centre which seeks to provide equal access to the law, particularly for deserving persons. They can be contacted at 03- 26913005.
