I raised #Mazur today in Birmingham CC on a cost schedule with only a Grade D on running the case.

A consumer cannot reliably find out whether a given Chartered Legal Executive has the right to conduct litigation - because @cilexregulation.bsky.social [CILEx Regulation]'s "Authorised Practitioners Directory" is "clearly a mess."
