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
