Will the Legal Services Act have unintended PII implications?

The new Legal Services Act, which will allow those without legal qualifications to invest in legal businesses, gave rise to a poll on guardian.co.uk. Asked if they would be happy to accept legal advice from a supermarket, no less than three quarters of the respondents were quite clear that they would not. And amongst the many comments that the poll elicited, one respondent wondered what would happen to the professional indemnity insurance premiums of high street retailers who did enter the legal world when the claims for poor advice started coming in.
