An update: I have just finished speaking to the firm of Solicitors who were dealing with my case in 1998. So far, touch wood, they have been very helpful indeed. They are going to contact me by post to update me on what happened re all my questions aove - I await the answers with interest. We discussed what they could tell me and I requested thatas much as possible was divulged to save me the bother of serving an SAR on them and/or using discovery when/if the case comes to court. Hopefully something interesting may appear.(posted 8537 days ago)The other thing I decided to discuss with them was whether they would consider acting on a no win no fee basis if the matter continued. They did not have a problem with this and, at the moment, depending on the contents of the file, they may be very useful as they should know more that the average solicitor about all the relevant laws!!
I will keep the you all updated.
