    Hi - in a financial remedy hearing I was LiP, ex had exclusive practice working for him. GP had to produce an “ability to work” letter. Sols for ex contacted them & asked questions in email regarding statements made and what I had discussed with GP. They did not preface email with “we are acting for EX in this matter.”
    GP (being unaware they were not acting for me) called them. It only became apparent after several minutes that the sols were ‘unfriendly’ as, once again, they did not declare their instructing clients & were, therefore, obtaining information by deception (even if deception by omission, rather than statement).
    can anyone advise me if sols had a duty/obligation to declare they were the ‘opposition’ please?
    thanks so much

    My immediate reaction is that the GP has questions to answer why he gave information without your authority to do so. Have you complained to the GP's practice?
    Lawyer (solicitor) - retired from practice, now supervising solicitor in a university law clinic. I do not advise by private message.

      I do not hold the GP remotely responsible. It was Covid times, the nhs were under enormous pressure and she had only just provided a letter to the court on my ability to (not) work. The email to her was very pressurising, it was her day off (but she still responded as she was aware that court was due the next day). She called the solicitor- and they again omitted to declare for whom they acted. Misleading to say the least. And in any event she had no business contacting my gp - in any circumstances?
