The appellant appealed a judgment granting the respondent lawyers their claim for unpaid legal fees and dismissing his counterclaim for solicitor's negligence.
The appellant argued the trial judge erred in his findings regarding the necessity of the legal services and the lawyers' alleged negligence in handling settlements and a Mareva injunction.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding that the trial judge's conclusions were fully supported by the evidence and there was no error in principle.
