I am a currently non practising solicitor, about to send a pre-action protocol letter on a personal dispute with a tradesman. Do I need to sign myself off as a Dame Celia, Solicitor (non practising) or just as Dame Celia?
I recall rules about not using the qualification to try to intimidate or gain influence but I don't want to fall foul of failure to disclose if we end up in court.
Can anyone advise?
