CourtHigh Court of Justice, Queen's Bench Division, Commercial Court

StatusPersuasive authority

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.
