The debate about which legal services should be regulated and which should not is not new.

We all love to moan about budget airlines and their deceptive online pricing strategies for adding taxes, fees and charges.
They are no longer allowed to keep taxes as an unpleasant surprise until the last moment when you are about to enter your credit card details, but they do still try and add an unexpected charge for using your credit card.

There is a road in one English town that falls between two boroughs – the boundary between them is an imaginary line down the middle of the road. Each borough has its own waste-management contract. On two different mornings, a truck from each borough goes down its half of the road and takes the rubbish for its half only. For the taxpayer, that’s double the work, double the cost, double the trouble.
