If Leigh Day are liable for losses suffered by a claimant because the firm paid funds into a legitimate bank account and could and should have been expected to foresee the risk that those funds would be ‘attacked by a corrupt judicial decision’, then solicitors will be hitherto uninsurable and their present insurers should start making compensation payments to anyone who has both retained a solicitor and suffered a loss without wasting time and money on investigating the claim! Theoretically, this decision could be applied to a firm which has paid funds into a British bank account, which have then been paid out to a third party by reason of the decision of a judge that cannot be explained other than by some self interest. But do I hear someone saying that, in Britain, banks are safe as houses and that judges could never be corrupted?
