Solicitors were wrong to go round costs lawyer acting for former client - Litigation Futures

Solicitors have been criticised by a costs judge for refusing to deal with our Director and Costs Lawyer, Kerry-Anne Moore, in a dispute over their fees.

Master Leonard said Oxfordshire firm Brethertons had failed to show “the same professional courtesy as a solicitor would expect” in such circumstances, and said the direct contract with the client may have been a breach of the Solicitors’ Code of Conduct.
