Jackson v Thompsons Solicitors (A Firm) and Others: QBD 6 Feb 2015

There had been a failed application for a Group Litigation Order. The application was dismissed with costs awarded, and the judge invited an application for a wasted costs order against the solicitors conducting the litigation. The insurance company providing After The Event Insurance for the liability purported to avoid the policy. The claimant was assignee of the claims of the insolvent firm, and now claimed very substantial sums from the defendant solicitors, alleging conspiracy and other torts, by them and the judge involved.
