From para 18 of the judgment: "It is not accepted that the Defendants were either negligent or in breach of any duty owed to the Claimant but it is accepted that in those regards the Claimant is putting forward contentions which have a real prospect of success. In short terms it cannot be said that the Claimant does not have a real prospect of establishing that the First Defendant acted in the way he alleges. If the Claimant's factual allegations as to the First Defendant's advice, actions, and omissions were to be accepted then there would be a real prospect of a finding of breach of duty."

So no real surprise. Reading the judgment however makes me think the claimant was one of those nightmare clients.
