A new member's perception - but are these points true or false?

[Aiofe]

Fair enough.

Thank you.

Given that it was only a few posts before your post with doubts about CR having other pro bono and CFA agreements, I felt that as you missed it the first time, I would repeat it. Anyway, who made you a mod?

And being as contrary as you are, if I had provided the post number you would have probably asked for the text. Go away.

Why so touchy ? I was being courteous in thanking you. Just because I disagree with your views does not make me contrary.

It felt like and was a rude response. It was not courteous.

So do people now accept that CR have a track record in pro bono and CFA work, and the McCanns are in noway special.

Can you confirm this ?

'It is expressly stated in the Director's report that the fund paid for the action taken against Amaral in Portugal. '

Scatter gun again. CR are not acting for them in the Portuguese Case.

Slight mistake there. I didn't mean to refer to Carter-Ruck.

I just meant the legal proceedings there.

Also , why would CR act  on a  pro-bono basis against Bennett, when they knew trey would win, and he clearly had no assets of any worth ?

you do realise Stephen that the McCanns have put around one and a half million into the fund...book and express payout...that they could have put into their own private bank account

because they are Humanitarian and see injustices, quite probably.  They had taken the Madeleine case to heart, as many of us have. 

We have a lawyer friend, in Germany, who regularly used to take on pro Bono cases.  He is retired now.  He was not interested in publicity or overly in money, just in Justice and helping the abused.

He is Not a rich man, but he is a happy man.

Part of a Reputation Protection Package- putting money making ventures against large companies in with picking off the small fry pro bono.

In fact with the Tapas 7 money over half of the fund was from sources other than public donations. Cultish blindness forgets that.

 Cultish blindness indeed...the few real facts in this case are conveniently ignored

None of which would have been necessary if the Mccanns had taken care of their children in the first place.

Or at least gone back to Portugal and demonstrated their innocence.
