The appellant sued her former lawyer for professional negligence, alleging he settled her motor vehicle accident claim too soon and for too little.
The trial judge dismissed the action, finding the lawyer met the standard of care and the appellant was motivated to settle early.
On appeal, the appellant argued the trial judge erred in qualifying a mediator as an expert and in permitting a defence expert to testify despite a breach of an order excluding witnesses.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no error in the trial judge's evidentiary rulings or her conclusion that the lawyer met the standard of care.
