The claimant sought repayment of sums drawn from their bank account, saying the cheque signatures had been forged. During long winded serial proceedings the claimant complained that the defendant had instructed to act for them a firm of solicitors who had acted for the claimant at an earlier stage.
Held: No conflict of interest had been shown, and a second set of proceedings amounted to an abuse and were out of time.
