Candey Ltd v Bosheh & Anor
[2021] EWHC 3409 (Comm)
Key Principle
A client owes his solicitor no implied duty of good faith under a retainer or conditional fee agreement (the solicitor's own fiduciary duty being inconsistent with a reciprocal good-faith obligation), and the iniquity exception to legal professional privilege is narrowly confined to conduct taking the case out of the ordinary run of such cases.
