Mitchell v Leigh Day (A Firm) [2025] EWHC 1081 (KB) (06 May 2025)
The High Court refused summary judgment in a solicitor negligence claim, holding that limitation and actionable damage are fact-sensitive issues needing trial.
The claims are time-barred due to substantial delay, lack of satisfactory explanation for the delay since 2014, and prejudice to the Home Office. It is not equitable to extend or disapply the limitation periods under section 33 of the Limitation Act 1980 or section 7(5)(b) of the Human Rights Act 1998.
Source excerpt
The school is entitled to summary judgment for a 100% indemnity against the teacher for the settlement sum and claimant's costs, as the teacher is bound by default judgment on liability, the settlement was bona fide, and the teacher has no real prospect of defending the claim. The teacher's procedural failures and lack of prompt application to set aside judgment preclude relief from sanctions. The quantum of contribution is set at the settlement sum (£40,000) and an interim payment of £60,000 towards costs, with final costs to be assessed.
