- Court of First Instance
- Case number
- HCA8439/1996
The Director owed no duty of care in relation to the conduct of litigation by assigned solicitors; the plaintiff's common law claim is time-barred because no continuing duty was established to postpone accrual; in any event no loss was shown because enforcement against the employer was unsuccessful and the Brewin Trust payment manifested exhaustion of remedies; accordingly the plaintiff's action is dismissed.
