Had the judge dismissed E-Surv's claim this surely would have endorsed a "jobsworth" approach to conveyancing that would have done little to better the ever declining relationship between lenders and conveyancing solicitors.
The disparity between valuation and purchase price (especially in the current climate) was such that to "keep mum" was inevitably perilous: as here.
That said, would the judge have been as keen to share blame 50:50 if the solicitors' activities were not underwritten by PII?
