Summary judgment and strike out were refused because genuine and material factual disputes existed about whether the retainer was on a legal aid or private basis and whether the trustees had authorised instruction (including whether unanimity was required), such disputes precluded a conclusion that the defendants had no arguable defence; the statutory stay under s161 did not apply because the professional conduct complaint had been disposed of.
