The defendant lawyer brought a motion for summary judgment to dismiss the plaintiff's action for solicitor negligence.
The plaintiff had retained the defendant to pursue a medical malpractice claim, but the defendant advised her to discontinue the action after an expert concluded there was no case.
The plaintiff sued the defendant for damages, alleging breach of trust and negligence, particularly regarding the administrative dismissal of her underlying action.
The court granted the summary judgment motion, finding the plaintiff failed to provide any evidence of wrongdoing, breach of standard of care, or damages caused by the defendant.
