Cabinet Office Minister, Francis Maude, has announced that 192 quangos and public bodies will be scrapped and 118 merged. Of particular interest to commercial practitioners is the announcement that the OFT is to be merged with the Competition Commission following a consultation by the Department of Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) and, in particular, that the OFT's consumer protection powers will be devolved to local trading standards authorities. It remains to be seen whether trading standards authorities have the resources and expertise to challenge the behaviour of traders nationally or cross-border, or to produce guidance on new legislation.
Client feedback
Winston Solicitors provided an excellent service throughout our house purchase. Their tracking system kept us updated at every stage, and communication via email and phone was always clear and prompt. They were also very accommodating in providing printed copies when we needed them. Overall, we were very happy with their support and would gladly use them again in the future.

As a first time solo buyer, I had no idea what I was doing with buying a house. Samantha at Winston Solicitors was incredible, her and her team explained everything and everytime I had a question (which was often) they responded quickly and in a way that was easy to explain. Using Winston Solicitors made the house buying process so easy and quick, from the initial viewing of the house to completion, it was only 12 weeks! After hearing horror stories of a long buying process, I couldn't be more happy to have worked with an amazing company! If you are looking for a solicitor for your house purchase, I would highly recommend Winston Solicitors!
