What the Society Cannot Do
Perhaps the Rule in Rylands and Fletcher may be of use, this deals with the escape of water onto a neighbours lands.

- Interfere with court proceedings to have a decision of a court overturned;
- Deal with complaints about Gardai, Barristers, Court Officials, Judges etc;
- Deal with complaints, particularly complaints of negligence, where legal action is a more appropriate remedy;
- Except in exceptional circumstances deal with complaints about a solicitor where the complainant is not the client of that solicitor. If you are complaining about the behaviour of a solicitor who is acting for someone on the other side of a case or transaction the Society will require your solicitor to endorse the complaint;
- Deal with a complaint which does not relate to the professional services provided by a solicitor;
- Deal with a complaint of excessive fees arising out of a bill which issued more than five years ago;
- Deal with complaints of inadequate professional services which were provided more than five years ago;
- Deal with a complaint which is based on how your solicitor presented your case in court.
