Dear Editor
The July 2009 edition of Counsel published an article entitled “Since you pay for it....” (pp 14-16) about the cover that Bar Mutual offers for disciplinary complaints to the Bar Standards Board. Unfortunately, Bar Mutual’s address as published in text box “Support and Assistance” was incorrect. We are now at 90 Fenchurch Street, London EC3M 4ST.
Please can you alert your readers accordingly as we are concerned that new complaints notifications will be sent to our old address from which mail is no longer being automatically forwarded.
