I can't remember where I read it, but I saw something last week about the cost of lawyers for the Rover meltdown, current and predicted, and it was tens of millions IIRC.
Where there's muck there's brass eh?

Who's footing that bill then? The taxpayer I suppose. With all these costs mounting, maybe the money would have been better spent keeping the company going.
On second thoughts, maybe not...

The story, that I think is being referred to, was published in the Daily Telegraph on 8th Nov:
"One of the two Department of Trade and Industry inspectors investigating the collapse of MG Rover has charged nearly £12,000 a day for three months' work.
The inspectors are also understood to be planning to roll out the investigation for another five years until 2010, according to industry sources, fuelling fears that the tax payer will be left with a multi-million pound bill."
The rest is on the Daily Telegraph website - search 'Rover'
...beats being a professional footballer!

Thanks Waino, that's the one.
I guess when you hear of these huge fees for a single person for a day (barristers are the same), it probably includes their support staff?

The latest news tonight is that the collapse of MG Rover has cost taxpapers the grand sum of £231m.

Yes - support staff - that'll be it. Like the disgraced UKIP MEP claiming £36,000 for his researcher and paying her £6,000!
Cynical - moi??? [Telegraph website, story 29/10/05]
