The appellant appealed a trial judgment dismissing his solicitor's negligence claim against his former lawyer, who had represented him in a motor vehicle accident claim.
The trial judge had found no negligence and no causal connection to the appellant's loss, as the appellant had discharged subsequent counsel and proceeded to trial self-represented.
The Divisional Court applied the standard of palpable and overriding error, found ample grounds for the trial judge's conclusions, and dismissed the appeal.
