Hi Gates
I would strongly suggest before your friend goes and appoints a new solicitor he/she first of all finds out, if the problem is with the builder related, who the builders solicitor is. Many of us have been caught out by this one in the past. and the last thing one wants is the same solicitor. Good luck.

Thats a good point Gates has made…… DO NOT use the same solicitor as your builder……

Absolutely, WE FELL INTO THIS TRAP 21 YEARS AGO AND ARE STILL PAYING HARD FOR IT.

Remember that the lawyers in the TRNC are 'Advocates' and not 'solicitors' as in England and Wales. Advocates in the TRNC do not regard themselves as having a 'duty of care' to their clients ('you didn't ask the right question(s)'), nor do they usually have indemnity insurance should they act or advise you incorrectly. Different world, different culture, different legal system and different rules.

Well said Jeremy S

Gates. It may help if one were to know exactly what your friends problem is. Some times going to a rip off legal bod is just a way of throwing funds down the well. There is a possibility your friend has no need to go the legal route. Is she/he a member of the BRS 9although would not recommend this route) or possibly the TFR?
As I said before it is Vitaly important she/he DO NOT use the same lawyer as the builder. They have to find this one out first. If they simply ask the lawyer all they will get back is, sorry I cannot answer that as it is client confidentiality. Which means he is a cousin.

It is an old hoary chestnut that advocates do not have a duty of care. They do.
In all contracts between lawyer and client there is a statutory obligation on the lawyer to provide a proper and professional service. This obligation can be excluded by the lawyer informing the prospective client that (s)he will not be providing a competent service. At this point the sane prospective client would walk out of the door. The real problem is that no matter how incompetent lawyer A may be no other lawyer will take on a case against him. If they did, imagine how many lawyers would be in the dock - but standards would rise.
