Have you affected by the negligence of a litigation solicitor or barrister? At CAP LAW, we specialise in recovering losses caused by litigation negligence.

Litigation Negligence – Common Mistakes

The most common mistakes made by negligent litigation lawyers are:

  • Missed time limits and deadlines, such as:
    • Not issuing or serving court proceedings within the limitation period
    • Not complying with a deadline or timetable set by a court order or court rules, which can lead to a claim or defence being struck out, or a costs order being made against you
  • Delay
  • Settling a claim for too little / less than its was worth (under settlement)
  • In the case of defendants, resolving a claim for too much / more than its value (over settlement)
  • Mistakes that increase costs, such as:
    • Issuing against the wrong defendant
    • Not advising sooner that a claim or defence is weak / hopeless and should be settled
  • Failure to advise or explain (eg risks)
  • Failure to obtain evidence
  • Poor case preparation
  • Below standard advocacy performance in court
