The claimant solicitors firm, at the behest of its insurrs sought to recover losses from a former consultant solicitor whose actions had given rise to the original claim against the firm. She had taken on clients who had perpetrated an identity fraud on her and the firm and the original claimant lender.
Held: Though the defendant had made mistakes, these did not amount to dishonesty, and the claim against her failed.
