  • Potential professional negligence claim against solicitor

    Hi all,

    I had a solicitor accept a case of mine under a CFA. It was a discrimination claim.

    The firm in question failed to get disclosure from the other side after sending them a letter before action (the disclosure request was treated as a subject access request which was never fulfilled).

    Around 10 months passed and a working day before the deadline I received very poorly formed advice from the firm's barrister. This, understandably, left me in a very difficult position.

    I am considering exploring a negligence claim but I am mindful of the fact that there are very few firms that accepts discrimination cases, brought to a County Court, on a CFA.

    I am considering reporting the case to the Legal Ombudsman but they are completely hopeless and incompetent.

    The problem is that if I get another firm to accept the negligence case the firm that could have been negligent will refuse to deal with me again due to a conflict of interest I suspect.

    Any input appreciated.
