Description
Michael Harvey QC (sitting as a Deputy High Court Judge) allowed the claimant solicitors' firm's claim for a sum of money in respect of outstanding fees for legal services provided to its former client, the defendant. The defendant had brought a counterclaim for damages for alleged professional negligence. Harvey QC found that whilst the counterclaim succeeded in part in relation to the claimant's admitted fault in two minor respects and which faults were negligent, he found that the defendant had failed to prove that either of those failures had caused her any loss. As such, the defendant was awarded nominal damages in contract of £10.00.
