Legal ethics & professional conduct; Negligence

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.

Reviews for The Law of Solicitors’ Liabilities

This is a book which has gone from strength to strength. * The Commonwealth Lawyer * The book is both succinct and comprehensive, and I shall have no hesitation in making it my first port of call when required to research a knotty point about solicitors. * Gregory Treverton-Jones QC, The Law Society Gazette *
