The news that The Solicitors Regulatory Authority is finally taking action against law firm ACS: Law will be seen as welcome news by many consumer groups who have been dealing with an unprecedented number of complaints.

ACS: Law has become infamous in recent times for its tactics of sending out intimidating letters threatening innocent people with expensive illegal file sharing cases unless they pay a financial settlement. In fact, the problem has become so bad that the SRA has received a staggering 418 complaints in July 2010 alone.

The firm, run by Andrew Cross, is responsible for more complaints and bad press than any other firm in the field of IP cases. Unsurprisingly, this will not be the first time Mr. Cross has appeared before a tribunal after complaints about his methods of practicing.

ACS: Law has ruined the lives of hundreds of people with its sharp practice and bullying tactics. Consumer groups, including Which? have been campaigning for a long time about the way ACS: Law operate and they are applauding the decision to finally take action against the firm. Most people agree that whilst sometimes legal action is appropriate, the methods practiced by ACS: Law are totally unacceptable.
