The appellant appealed the dismissal of her action for breach of fiduciary duty and professional negligence against her former solicitor.
The solicitor had acted for the appellant on a mortgage transaction while also acting for the borrowers on a related commercial loan.
The trial judge found that the solicitor's retainer was limited to the mortgage transaction, that he had warned the appellant about the risks of the wider loan, and that the appellant had rebuffed his concerns.
The Court of Appeal found no overriding and palpable error in the trial judge's findings and dismissed the appeal.
