Andrews v Messer Beg
[2019] EWHC 911 (Ch)
Key Principle
In a professional-negligence claim against solicitors for failing to advise on litigation funding (CFA/ATE arrangements), the claimant must prove on the balance of probabilities that, properly advised, it would have pursued the underlying claim, and the value of any lost claim is then assessed on a loss-of-a-chance basis.
