I disagree with your interpretation but I'm free to do so. I don't think that anyone is saying there was a conflict as such - just that where you clearly don't have instructions (and haven't had them for over a year) and despite chasing you get nothing, the correct thing to do is to withdraw and bill your client for what it is worth for failing to co-operate by terminating the CFA which will have been in place.
Looking at it the other way, if you've got a client who has gone rogue on you, you have no idea if he or she is around or in the country, and you issue proceedings, how can you properly say that you can prepare that claim for Trial as you have no clue that any client is ever going to turn up at all, leaving you client-less at Trial and then having to come off record anyway!!
