Only what is general practice, though the courts are not generally keen to allow solicitor expert evidence.

While the facts were unusual, involving payment to an account in Ivory Coast, Agouman v Leigh Day (a firm) [2016] EWHC 1324 (QB) involved inadequate DD on a bank to which money was paid.

Lenders have of course been alive to the issue for a long time (hence the difficulties sole practitioners have had getting on panels, due to the differences between PII and Compensation Fund).
