The statement of claim was struck out because it failed to disclose any reasonable cause of action: pleaded losses were vague, contradictory and lacked particulars and a plausible causal link to any breach by the solicitors; some alleged losses were legally too remote (the effective cause being third parties/relatives) and the overall case was hopeless; the plaintiff's application for leave to appeal out of time was dismissed because the appeal lacked merit and the delay was not satisfactorily explained.
