The claimant had failed in her discrimination claim, and now sued solicitors employed to conduct the defence of the claim alleging a course of conduct in which the defendants committed the torts of libel, malicious falsehood, harassment, negligence, breach of confidence, and breach of her privacy and data protection rights. She also claimed exemplary damages for ‘perverting the course of justice and unreasonable or oppressive conduct’. The defendants now sought a strike out of the claim as without merit.
