Overview

The Law of Solicitors' Liabilities, previously known as Solicitors' Negligence and Liability, provides a comprehensive guide to all aspects of solicitors’ negligence, liability in equity and wasted costs. Written by leading practitioners in the field, it deals with a variety of topics, from general principles to specific situations, providing practical guidance to the procedural aspects of bringing and defending a claim for solicitors’ negligence. The new fourth edition includes: - A new chapter on insurance law focusing on a number of key topics which arise, particularly in relation to solicitors’ insurance: aggregation; condonation; definition of private legal practice; notification; possibly successor practice rules. - Updated case law to cover all recent Supreme Court and Court of Appeal decisions, eg Hughes-Holland v BPE (Supreme Court) scope of duty and extent of damages; Redler v AIB (Supreme Court): breach of trust; Lowick Rose v Swynson (Supreme Court): lifting the corporate veil in claims against professionals; Tiuta International v de Villiers (Court of Appeal): lenders’ claims, impact of a remortgage on damages; Wellesley v Withers (Court of Appeal): test for remoteness of damage; and E Surv v Goldsmith Williams (Court of Appeal): implied duty on solicitors in lenders’ claims. - Regulatory/disciplinary developments, eg revised SRA Code of Conduct. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Professional Negligence Law online service.
