Claim for professional negligence brought on behalf of the widow and estate of Mr David Jack Hanbury (‘the claimants’) against solicitors who were instructed to pursue a claim arising out of his death from asbestos related lung cancer. The claim did not proceed after an unfavourable medical report was obtained. It is the claimants’ case that Hugh James omitted highly material evidence when instructing the medical expert and then failed to notice that this had not been considered.
