Surely it's not that difficult for a solicitor to make clear what service they are providing and what not. I do not see this judgment (as reported here) as doing anymore than identifying a need to be clear about the terms of your retainer, thus:

'I have agreed to assist you in compiling your appeal bundle but it is YOUR duty to file and serve it in time and I accept NO RESPONSIBILITY for doing either unless you specifically request and I agree. PLEASE NOTE, you may be subject to sanctions imposed by the court, INCLUDING COSTS AND STRIKE-OUT SANCTIONS, if you fail to comply with a rule, practise direction or order.'

What's wrong with that?
