- High Court
Court found a solicitor–client relationship existed; Kenton Chambers breached professional obligations (failed to inform client of fixture and material developments, failed to supervise junior solicitor, and withdrew without reasonable notice or proper compliance with High Court Rules) in a way that caused the plaintiff to be unrepresented and suffer foreseeable loss (fees to set aside the judgment); plaintiff awarded damages (reduced for mitigation and set-offs) and modest general damages; exemplary damages refused.
