Dodgy solicitors

Re: Dodgy solicitors

My solicitor says I may have a negligence claim against another firm. However, in my opinion there is a fine line to be drawn between being negligent and discriminatory in these circumstances. In fact, it would probably best most convenient for them to act unreasonably in this respect and then claim it was merely their 'legal opinion' knowing this creates a higher hurdle to overcome.

As with the other case it is clear they were unwilling to set out their advice clearly and in writing. What inference would any reasonable person draw from this?

Only problem is I think there is no legal aid for professional negligence claims?

Negligence could be worth a few million....discrimination no where near.

That could be handy (though I imagine these claims attract massive costs for the losing party).

The situation with legal aid is a complete travesty.
