The defendant firm of solicitors had acted for the claimant and 30000 others in a claim for personal injuries from the leaking of a tanker. The claim was settled but before damages could be paid, another group obtained orders against the sums received. The result was that the claimant received nothing. She now claimed in professional negligence.
