Tribunals Unsexy

HEY are hugely costly and very unsexy and of questionable usefulness, so is it time to bring down the curtain on the tribunals? I think it is. The alternative is to go on throwing good money after bad, and that's not a sensible policy. Apart from enriching a bevy of lawyers, the tribunals have yielded little. It is surely incontestable that on a cost-effectiveness basis, they are difficult if not impossible to justify. They have told us as much about the greed of the legal profession as about the toxic elements in the body politic.
