A question.
My solicitor had planned annual leave for this week. She told me things could still proceed in her absence - that she would hand over to a colleague.
Unfortunately, she then needed to take compassionate leave, so the full hand over did not happen.
A different solicitor is taking over my case for the duration.
I want things to proceed in my solicitor's absence.
If the new solicitor spends a heap of time getting up to date with my case before actually working on it am I obliged to pay? It is no ones fault that this has happened - it's life I understand that, but I neither want to wait until my solicitor is back nor pay for someone new to take over.
I can of course ask her, but that's more £££££ just to ask!
