The growing outcry over how many of these there are might, might, might force the govt to do something about slapps.
Probably won't.

Of course, where lawyers are sending out SLAPPs, that is a matter to be properly dealt with by the SRA.

Warning notice: there is a concern that solicitors and firms are engaged in a type of abusive litigation, known as strategic lawsuits against public participation (SLAPPs), on behalf of their clients.

Same with Walliams. Same with Nick Cohen. Same with lots of stars, hacks and academics. And of course JKR loves both SLAPPs and abusers
Everyone says Russell Brand silenced his victims for years with legal threats.
Let's see those threats.
Lawyers will keep silencing victims and journalists in the shadows until we expose what they're doing.

I want slapps destroyed. The brand one where somebody couldn't even talk to the police or a therapist. It doesn't serve any purpose except evil.

Hi Dmitry, the SRA has put out press releases relating to this area, SLAPP. Sadly very few prosecutions. I really don't like powerful law firms silencing people with legitimate grievances. @danneidle.bsky.social has done a lot in this space. www.sra.org.uk/news/news/re...
Our approach to SLAPPs cases
Statement: Concerns remain about solicitors getting involved in abusive litigation aimed at silencing legitimate criticism – known as SLAPPs (strategic litigation against public participation).

The Tories and then labour promised to end these ‘slapps’ cases - basically rich folks using law to silence
Hasn’t happened. Why? Well, one reason might be the huge lobbying campaign… by the rich libel lawyers

I'm a solicitor in banking. The cab rank rule applies to barristers but not solicitors. Solicitors choose to do this work and choose to accept instructions from people who are suspected of sexual offences to attempt to bully and silence victims. I think the SRA needs to do more on SLAPPs.

Also as this seems to date back to before they came out as anti Zionist or pro Palestine that defence is also weak especially with absolutely no comment on SLAPPs from them, lets be honest SLAPPs are a tool that mostly benefit perverts and oligarchs

Det roligaste med AI-utbildningen skedde såklart efteråt. En kollega suckar högt och utbrister: Jaja, men NÄR ska AI ha ihjäl oss egentligen?! En annan kollega knäpper sina händer , tittar upp i taket och säger: Snälla, inte innan GTA 6 släpps!

As an incurable optimist (or so I've been accused), it was heartening to just hear SLAPPs being discussed on Sky News in the context of David Walliams. Here's hoping that the desperately needed anti-SLAPP reforms will be the good thing that comes out of the whole sorry mess.

"Den vetenskapliga rådgivningen är glasklar, ålen ska inte fiskas alls; inte för konsumtion och inte heller för odling eller utsättning, det vill säga att ålyngel fångas, transporteras och släpps ut någon annanstans, säger Östersjöcentrums fiskeforskare Sara Söderström."
Internationella havsforskningsrådet (ICES) råd är tydligt: stoppa allt fiske på den hotade europeiska ålen. Men hittills har EU:s fiskeripolitiker inte lyssnat. Samtidigt syns nya oroväckande tecken på att ålens situation förvärras ytterligare.
