Solicitor business cleared by Law Society

THE Law Society of Scotland has concluded there was no wrongdoing by a firm offering an out-of-hours phone service for lawyers.

Its report yesterday revealed there was no evidence to support last year's high-profile allegations of wrongdoing by the directors of Esto.

Esto was set up in December to provide an outsourcing service for solicitors after the Cadder ruling stipulated suspects must not be questioned without access to a lawyer.
