Complaints
1. Complaints may be made in writing, by e-mail, by telephone or any other form in respect of a service that I have provided.
2. I reserve the right to decline to consider a complaint that is made more than six months after you became aware of the cause of the complaint. There may be instances where I will waive this requirement at my discretion. I will confirm to you in writing if a complaint has been made outside the time limit that I am prepared to consider.
3. I will send you a written or electronic acknowledgement of a complaint within five business days of receipt, identifying the person who will be handling the complaint. Although the complaint may be in respect of a decision I took, I undertake to investigate it thoroughly.
4. Within four weeks of receiving a complaint, I will send you either:
a) a final response which adequately addresses the complaint; or
b) a holding response, which explains why I am not yet in a position to resolve the complaint and indicates when I will make further contact with you.
5. Within eight weeks of receiving a complaint I will send you either:
a) a final response which adequately addresses the complaint; or
b) a response which:
(i) explains why I am still not in a position to make a final response, giving reasons for the further delay and indicating when I expect to be able to provide a final response;
(ii) and informs you that you may refer the handling of the complaint to CILEx Regulation if you are dissatisfied with the delay.
6. Where I decide that redress is appropriate, I will provide you with fair compensation for any acts or omissions for which I am responsible and will comply with any offer of redress which you accept. Appropriate redress will not always involve financial redress.
7. If you are not satisfied with my response, or if a complaint is not resolved after eight weeks, you may refer the complaint to the Legal Ombudsman.

Normally, you will need to bring a complaint to the Legal Ombudsman within six months of receiving a final written response from us about your complaint, or within six years of the occurrence of the act or omission about which you are complaining (or if outside of this period, within three years of when you should reasonably have been aware of it).
Generally, the Legal Ombudsman deals with complaints relating to acts or omissions that happened after 5 October 2010.
8. Any conduct related claims may be directed free of charge to CILEx Regulation for them to investigate. Misconduct complaints must be made within 12 months of the act or omission that gave rise to the complaint or within 12 months of the complainant having knowledge of the act or omission that gave rise to the complaint, whichever is the greater.
