For Cellar Door

In Brisbane, Australia in the 1990’s a Prosecutor told a jury that amongst other things, mortgage fraudsters needed "a tame solicitor” who could compliantly misuse his authority to ensure their illegal scheme would secure funds from a bank. That solicitor was dis-barred by Australia’s Law Society.

Whilst it is absolutely clear that there is no comparison with the term’s use in the TLERA email in Piplings case nor can it be seen to be applicable to the appointed solicitors, it is probable that the epithet's use in the email does not have a positive spin (dependent upon from what position you view it) and is possibly pejorative.

In UK business-speak the word “tame” can be applied to any number of professionals who may present themselves in a co-operative light in a given situation.
