Bundle

[SaraSmithy]

Hi,

Could someone please possibly help me, I am the respondent in five years of ongoing family proceedings which was dropped by the applicant before the final hearing, the children's solicitor was responsible for creating the latest bundles but I could not access the link she emailed, and the link has now expired.

The solicitors email reply was they are no longer working on the case and she is unable to help me, she stated 'they do not print bundles', I rang the court but they said their link has also expired and no final bundle was downloaded at the court, suggesting I asked the Solicitor as they were responsible for the bundle, I have done this to no avail.

I need to have the bundle for my records, I also need to seek further orders as I explained in my email to the solicitor. The orders are prohibited steps and non-molestation orders to protect my children.
I would be very grateful for advice please?

Thank you,

Kind Regards,
Sara

Hello and welcome

When you say, ‘the children’s solicitor’ what do you mean? Is it not your own former solicitor?
If the solicitor was instructed by you, they have a duty to provide a full copy of the client file upon request. This would include digital files such as the bundle, after all this is presumably all paid for already? Outstanding fees are a reason solicitors obstruct sending files over?
If the solicitor continues to fail to respond, you will need to instigate the firms complaints procedure, details of which should have been supplied to you upon instruction.
Good luck
