The appellant sued his former solicitor for negligence regarding the sale of a taxi business, claiming the solicitor failed to advise him of a discrepancy in interest payments under the sale agreement.
The trial judge found the solicitor negligent but dismissed the action because the appellant failed to prove damages.
On appeal, the Court of Appeal upheld the trial judge's decision, noting that without the solicitor's negligence, the sale would not have occurred, and the appellant provided no evidence that the business was worth more than the amount received.
