I don't understand why you would say a legal advice should be considered as advocacy. For me, we have received a legal advice which simply indicates the firm's interpretation of the existing law and what they think is possible. While its okay to have another legal advice just for benefit of doubt and due diligence, i don't think we should necessarily rely/trust on the external legal advice than the internal legal advice...either of them can be presented with vested interest (especially in a process like this).<br><br></div><div>Regards<br></div><div><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
