We act on behalf of Mr Richard Hegarty and his law firm Hegarty & Co in relation to the enforcement of their rights in the United Kingdom.
Since 1 August 2003 Mr Hegarty has been The Chair of the Law Society’s Compliance Board. He is also senior partner in the firm Hegarty & Co, a well respected law firm based in Peterborough.
It has come to our client’s attention that websites hosted by you (the ‘Offending Websites’) at the following urls. Contain a number of statements about our clients (the Offending Material’):

(actually its http://www.solicitorsfromhell.com/rthomas1.htm#dickie . . . . ccc)
(actually its http://www.solicitorsfromhell.com/rthomas1.htm#dickie . . . . ccc)
http://www.nightmaresolicitors.com/dickie.htm
The Offending Websites are defamatory in that they contain various references to our client which give the impression that amongst other things our clients are untrustworthy. This includes but not limited to the following statements:
“Can you afford to trust Hegarty & Co Solicitors?”
“They are probably all guilty of ‘professional misconduct’”
“It’s food for thought’ can you afford to take a chance with Richard Hegarty & Co Solicitors?”
Accordingly, this letter is to put you on notice as to the defamatory statements contained on the Offending Websites hosted by yourselves and to request that you take down the Offending Material expeditiously so as to come within the safe harbour provisions of the E Commerce Regulations. As you are aware, if the Offending Material is not taken down expeditiously you will be liable for publication of the Offending Material Directly. We also note that the offending Material is also in breach of you terms and conditions in particular Clause 6.2.2.
If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact our Matt Jacob on 0207 7345 9046 or by email mjacob@iprights.com

In addition to my own RANT about The Law Society’s despicable behaviour in trying to get at Web Hosts for allowing detrimental content about themselves or those they are supposed to regulate the Solicitors on the sites they host . . See My RANT
We find that the arrogance of The Law Society is matched only by those that run it. From the following letter we can see that plain as day. . . . “Mr Richard Hegarty is The Chair of the Law Society’s Compliance Board.” . . .who doesn’t like the statements . . . .
“Can you afford to trust Hegarty & Co Solicitors?”
“They are probably all guilty of ‘professional misconduct’”

But instead of using plain simple LAW . . . presumable because he knows he can’t . . . . to sue Brian Gray . . . for the authorship of those statements. Richard “The Chair” Hegarty employs yet another firm of Solicitors . . . Willoughby & Partners. (presumably because he doesn’t trust his own firm Hegarty & Co Solicitors to be capable enough to do it themselves.) . . . . to try to intimidate 1&1 Internet Ltd to close down the Websites.
I know a bit of simple Law but I obviously don’t know about the “provisions of the E Commerce Regulations.” . . . but then nor do Hegarty & Co otherwise they could have used it themselves one presumes.
The problem seems to be compacted by the fact that neither do Willoughby & Partners SOLICITORS The Isis Building Thames Quay 193 Marsh Wall, because the Website is still up and running ONE AND A HALF YEARS LATER. So one has to presume that 1&1 Internet knew more about the Law than Matt Jacob Solicitor at Willoughby and Partners, otherwise what was the point of the letter.? . . . . Well I’ll tell you what the point of it was . . . Matt Jacob of Willoughby & Partners thought he could bamboozle 1&1 by simply quoting a few of his professed opinions at them. But I would suggest he knew perfectly well there was no such provision in the Law.
For instance I don’t know about “E Com Regs” but I do know that nothing in
“Can you afford to trust Hegarty & Co Solicitors?”
“They are probably all guilty of ‘professional misconduct’”
“It’s food for thought’ can you afford to take a chance with Richard Hegarty & Co Solicitors?”
“Can you afford to trust Hegarty & Co Solicitors?”
“They are probably all guilty of ‘professional misconduct’”
“It’s food for thought’ can you afford to take a chance with Richard Hegarty & Co Solicitors?”
. . . is the least bit defamatory. . . (you want defamatory? go to my site IWG.org) Brian Gray asks perfectly reasonable questions given the ARGUMENT that he presents on the rest of his sites. (see below) Which is why Willoughby & Ptnrs did not act on the following letter one presumes. The questions are not asked out of context. . . . the point is if I know that . . . . . then so should Matt Jacob have known it when he wrote it. And if he did know it . . . . then Matt Jacob Willoughby & Ptnrs was plainly lying. This is exactly the same sort of lies, bluster and bully I complained about by those Tosser Solicitors Lister & Wood Croydon to The Law Society, when they repeatedly threatened me with bogus Law.
No wonder The Law Society condoned Lister & Wood’s lies, bluster and bullying, when I complained, at that time. This is the 1st thing The Law Society and their Officers turn to themselves. Fortunately the days of phoning their buddies to keep the likes of us quiet are over. And should eventually sound the death knell for these pseudo regulatory bodies like The Law Society.

On Thursday 6 November '03 at 6.15pm Hegarty & Co Solicitors with offices in Peterborough and Stamford rang me (their offices close at 5.15pm) . The first thing I noted was Hegarty & Co knew the name of my business and they found out my home 'phone number that is not listed. I believe this shows, as I have said in the past also in a letter I wrote to the Legal Ombudsman's office, that there is a lot of 'blather mouthing' goes on by members of the Law Society (see Hegarty & Co own 'Client's Charter' rule 15 "We shall keep what you tell us confidential"), if Richard Hegarty used other members of the Law Society to get information on me can he be trusted not to pass clients information on to at least other solicitors, which could end up in the hands of other third parties. Can you afford to trust 'Hegarty & Co Solicitors'?

From the former I see in a letter from Brian to Zahida Manzoor CBE Legal Services Ombudsman
I'm aware you say that concerning my complaint against Thos Boyd Whyte you "do not intend to revisit these particular complaints". In your letter (page 3 4th paragraph) concerning the "possible contravention of the data Protection Acts was a matter which fell within the remit to investigate". If you look at the enclosed attendance note and a letter which I sent to you dated 21st May 2003 you clearly must have been aware at that time there had been a "possible contravention of the data Protection Acts" that you now say comes "within" the CCS's "remit to investigate" which at the time I bitterly complained that the OSS and then yourself refused to investigate.

And from the latter, I would have thought this snippet indicates that The Law Society acted outside The LAW. And the implications of it should be investigated by the Police.
Let us look at the last part of that sentence; "the question of information passing outside of the Law Society would not in any event arise". Are you saying that any data/information that is collected from Complainants' files over the 'telephone' ('unsecured means') by whom it is assumed are members of the Law Society, even when they are 'closed files', is legally correct?
NO WONDER BRIAN’S SITES ARE STILL ON THE NET. . . quite frankly it would seem Richard Hegarty is lucky The Police are not investigating him.

More Dirty Tricks from This Disgraceful Society
For the first time ever, a solicitor has persuaded a court to revoke an intervention in a practice. The victory is of course quite hollow, since the Law Society has killed her practice, and very probably bankrupted her. The Court recognised that any order it made was empty, and since the Socity was acting in purported fulfilment of a statutory duty she gets no remedy.
What was extraordinary were the lengths the Law Society was ready to go to in order to make sure that they won. They gave misleading statements to pretend that there was a shortfall on client account. They looked for dishonesty. When they could not find it, they looked again. When they could not find it again, they amassed huge volumes of absolutely trivial complaints in the hope that nobody would look further.
They spent your resources justifying what they knew was unjustifiable. The system means that an intervention is normally unchallengable.The Law Society has come to see themselves as above criticism; beyond the reach of ordinary mortals. They didn't even need to bother recording the reasons for their intervention decision. Who would be so presumptious as to ask them to explain why they were going to destroy an professional career?
There had been no dishonesty. The Society found no more than lesser breaches of conduct rules. The Judge said that in effect, the Law Society wanted to expect of any practice the standards which might be available to largest practice in the City. This was quite unrealistic. He pointed out that a large practice can store files forever at an out of town facility. A small practice, and in this context that means every firm still putting the names of all the partners on the letterhead, can destroy a file perfectly properly, but the Law Society will feel free to take this as evidence of at best slack practice and at worst of dishonesty.
The judgment (below) is a long one but is well worth reading. The Law Society was not necessarily dishonest. What began as as organisational laziness and prejudice against smaller practices was transformed into an attempt by the Society to do whatever was necessary to feed this particular solicitor to the dogs, rather than to admit their own shameful error. It is an organisation which has lost any sense of humanity or compassion. It is sick.
This can happen to any practice. The standards which the Law Society looked for were simply unrealistic. There may be one or two people in any firm whose every file is a model of absolute corporate cleanliness - no thought, no life, no commitment, just all the boxes neatly ticked.
Here it is Sheikh v The Law Society. http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Ch/2005/1409.html
The dear old Gazette carries a short article (7 July 2005) which acknowledges that the Society was criticised. You would never guess from the Gazette that not one of the panel who took the decision to ruin this solicitor's professional life remembered enough of why they thought she was dishonest to support that decision by giving evidence. They didn't even serve a statement. They were unwilling to risk facing the solicitor they were happy to destroy. In a situation where the Law Society was clearly fighting for its reputation, it is difficult to imagine that these absolutely central witnesses would not have been called if it was thought they might have been of even the remotest help.
The Law Society was reduced to a miserable and cringing 'We are considering an appeal.' No apology. No grovelling admission of a terrible disgrace. No humble pie. Nothing. Just a continuation of the brass-necked view that 'if we can still get out of this by digging this solicitor's grave a few feet deeper, we will happily do so.'

Hopefully sites like mine, and there will be many, will dig the grave of this corruptly biased body. Along with their stooges at The Legal Services Ombudsman Office
These sites were created because Solicitors Ingram Winter Green and Denniss Matthews will not respond to my many letters, and because The Law Society will not investigate all this:-
For the removal of doubt, I have never called Daniel J Ginsbury “a lying, conniving, scheming piece of pig shit, low life life gutter scum”.
I merely ask the question? If all of the above is true would that make him one? Daniel Ginsbury declines to ans either the former or the latter. It is true that I accuse IWG of being a bunch of total Wankers for allowing these sites to be here and are not able to fathom a way out of this dilemma. Not worthy to call themselves Solicitors in fact.

DISCLAIMER . . re MCP Law Click here
My claims made on this and other web sites are based on the fact that Metcalfe Copeman & Pettefar ( MCP Law ) refuse to answer even the most basic of questions. They should have no reason, unless to do so would embarrass them or their clients in disclosure of lies, connivance, and conspiracy. In exactly the same fashion as the IWG, Denniss Matthews conspiracy. I have asked them over and over again to tell the truth but they have declined. It is reasonable and correct therefore to make the assumptions that I have and that are printed through out these sites. MCP Law still have the opportunity to refute these claims if they wish . . . Provided they can prove it that is.

Appearing as a witness
You must not appear as an advocate at a trial or act in the litigation if it is clear that you, or anyone within your firm, will be called as a witness, unless you are satisfied that this will not prejudice your independence as an advocate, or litigator, or the interests of your client or the interests of justice.

All we ever hear is that there are a few rotten apples.
THAT’s NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Solicitors are in a UNIQUE position of trust second only to Banks and the like. People TRUST them with their LIFE SAVINGS.
ANY infraction of that TRUST should be dealt with severely. NOT a wrist slapping “Don’t do it AGAIN.”
