The court found on the evidence of the parties' email exchanges that there was a serious breakdown of confidence between solicitor and client amounting to good cause; no special circumstances existed to retain the solicitor (the client's financial hardship and optimism about settlement did not suffice); therefore an order under Order 67 r.6(1) declaring the solicitor ceased to act was appropriate and the appeal was dismissed.
