- Curiously this barely disguised “hands off signal is one of the few areas where Benson and the Law Centres' Federation seem to be at one. The latter organisation is also opposed to CABx employing salaried lawyers to advise CABx clients on legal matters.

- Castlemilk is the first, and at present, the only advice centre in Scotland to employ salaried solicitors.

- Since the inception of this scheme Scottish solicitors have consistently shown themselves to be more adept than their English counterparts in turning it to their advantage. (Law Society statistics show that from the beginning the average Scottish account under the scheme has exceeded the average English account despite the higher fee scales prevailing south of the border.)
