Manoj Saluja & Anor v Vyman Solicitors Ltd

Vyman Solicitors Ltd did not breach its duty of care or trust to either claimant; the appointment of Shital Shah as independent solicitor was not inherently negligent or suspicious under Etridge principles, and the fraud perpetrated by Milan Patel could not have been foreseen or prevented by Vyman. No recoverable loss was suffered by Manoj Saluja, and Thamesmere's losses were not caused by any breach of duty by Vyman.
