Time Limits
You must be wary of time limits in claims against solicitors. If proceedings are not issued at Court within a certain time, which is known as the limitation period, you are likely to lose the right to pursue a claim.
Time limits in professional negligence matters are often difficult to assess precisely. As a general rule of thumb in claims against other solicitors with no element of personal injury you have 6 years from the date the course of action accrues in which to issue proceedings.
There may be other factors to consider and our advice to you is always to contact a lawyer as soon as you believe that you may have been let down by a lawyer to avoid further disappointment.
