Advice Resolutions successfully files a request with the Scottish Law Society, for race discrimination and professional misconduct against the Public Defence Solicitors Office (PDSO) Edinburgh in which a Solicitor, Ms Ellie Younger, practices. The PDSO is heavily funded by the Scottish Legal Aid Board (SLAB) therefore, the PDSO fall to be in direct breach of the Human Rights Act 1998, s3 as a hybrid public authority under s6 when committing acts of racism.

Ms Younger is said to have failed to uphold her legal practice of professionalism and conduct which requires that she does not bring the legal profession into dispute which includes racist conduct.

Ms Younger is said to have bypassed the Public Defence Solicitors Office (PDSO)  Code of Conduct requirement which is an expressed instruction to inform the (PDSO) Director when her ability to take cases is full to capacity.
Instead Ms Younger is said to have flouted that rule in favour of covering up for own misconduct and racism by instead discussing whether the Defendant potential client (a Black Woman of the Global Majority) case is going ahead only discussing with the Head of the Office.

Solicitors take an oath swearing to serve the Crown, and that does not mean acting in fear and/or favouritism, being racist, prejudicial, and challenging by questioning.

In knowing full well from what Ms Younger had done by not declaring her workload matter to the Director, she fell to be in direct breach of that Code of Conduct and ought to be sanctioned, quite rightly. The public ought to be protected from unscrupulous and seemingly racist Solicitors masquerading as honest and law abiding,

The PDSO then tried to cover up Ms Younger’s misdeeds by removing their Code of Conduct from their website attempting to prevent heavy sanctions against them. This clearly has not worked as Advice Resolutions Detective in Law saw the corruptive and racist practices of the PDSO Edinburgh a mile off and reported them to the Law Society without delay from the outset.

The case against Ms Younger, without more and in the failure to give an adequate explanation for failing to comply with the strict regulatory code of the PDSO's Code of Conduct, we hope that she will be made a example of that there is no place for exercising racism and prejudices on the grounds of a potential client's ethnicity, and acting with corrupt practices. It is Solicitors like Ellie Younger who paint Solicitors in a bad light and most surprisingly by a person who is supposed to uphold standards with higher expectations.
We trust that the Black Woman from the Global Majority case will be recognised fully and an effective remedy granted.
