Re: PCC Complaint Question
COMPLAINANT NAME:
Harry Cichy
CLAUSES NOTED: 1
PUBLICATION: Nottingham Evening Post
COMPLAINT:
Harry Cichy complained to the Press Complaints Commission that the newspaper had reported an employment tribunal in which Tony Bennett was referred to as a "solicitor". The complainant pointed out that Mr Bennett was not a qualified solicitor: he was retired, had not been in possession of a solicitors practising certificate for a number of years and, therefore, was not qualified to act as a solicitor.
RESOLUTION:
The complaint was resolved when the newspaper published a follow-up article (which stated that Mr Bennett was only acting as the defendant's representative in the tribunal in question) accompanied by the following clarification:
In an article on November 20, 2009, regarding the tribunal we referred to Tony Bennett as a solicitor. Mr Bennett has since told us he retired in 1999 and is no longer registered with the Solicitors' Regulation Authority. We are happy to make the position clear.
