28 November 2022
We would like to extend our appreciation again for your patience while we resolve the remaining issues and work on the New View case page to ensure it meets your needs.
We had a constructive meeting with members of the Law Society of Scotland committee last week where we gave assurances that we would not remove the link to old view case until we are satisfied the new views case meets user needs.
We intend to have another meeting in early December.
The list below gives the fixes deployed on 28 November.
