Steve I totally agree with you, I have been pushing my solicitor to do
all that is required but they have just ignored me, I am on my third
solicitor now and had to instruct him to submit our own statement but
we are continuously having problems with them. They seem to be working
in the interest of the defendant who happens to be Costco's.
