Solicitors can work in public toilets..anything less than $500- and they don't, need a written cost agreement...they use the cubicles rent free. (Electricity connection for their iPads is an issue)..the public gets upset about this....and before you know it you get bearded vigilantes...collecting $500- fees from the lawyers on an ad hoc basis. The lawyer goes broke due to competition from the other solicitors in the other cubicles and asic and the asx are called in.(but what about the ACCC)..Now I half understand

But
What is a beat?
