The court found the solicitors had exercised the care and skill of a reasonably competent solicitor by advising the client of the material difficulties (need to prove malice, double recovery, lack of ex-wife evidence) and counsel reiterated those points; the client elected to proceed and subsequently agreed to settle when advised; therefore there was no breach of contract or negligence and the claim is dismissed.
