Irvings Law recently settled a case after Leon retained our services for a professional negligence claim against his former solicitors. Leon was involved in a fraudulent misrepresentation claim from commercial proceedings. His solicitors, believing they would win the case, took out adverse cost insurance for only £100,000 and never re-visited if more insurance would be needed, nor did they advise Leon of any adverse costs.
Unfortunately, the case was lost. Since the solicitor failed to insure the case properly, Leon was left exposed to over £400,000 in adverse costs. Facing a possible bankruptcy and major stress that almost caused a nervous breakdown, he called Irvings for help.
Once on the case we issued proceedings against Leon’s former solicitors, suing them for failing to properly insure the case. A settlement was eventually reached, and it covered all the debts Leon owed so he could move on with his life, bankruptcy and stress-free. We were glad Leon came to us for help, as we had a very successful outcome for his case!
