Disputes

How to deal with different disputes.

Boundary disputes and rights over property

Disputes over the position of a boundary or rights over a neighbouring property, are often impossible to resolve to the satisfaction of both parties, and in many residential cases the costs involved in litigating the matter are many times the value of the land involved.

Professional negligence

Professional negligence describes a situation where someone who owes you a duty of skill and care fails to perform in accordance with that duty, and you suffer loss as a result. The duty may be owed by any professional, but claims are most commonly made against solicitors, accountants, architects, valuers and surveyors. Claims against members of the medical and related professions (eg dentists) are usually described as clinical negligence, and are the subject of a separate note.
