The claimant solicitors sought payment from the defendants of fees of pounds 12,700, plus interest which to the date of issue would take the total to pounds 16,367. The defendants’ principal defence was one of set off of a counterclaim for negligence in which they originally sought damages of over pounds 2.8m, now reduced in their re-amended Defence and Counterclaim to pounds 2.57m.
