The respondent law firm moved to set aside a Registrar's order for the assessment of its accounts, arguing the clients failed to request the assessment within the 30-day period under section 3 of the Solicitor's Act.
The court found that the clients did not receive the accounts until November 2024, making their request timely.
The motion was dismissed, and the assessment was ordered to proceed, limited to the specific accounts and not the retainer agreement.
