Defending a professional negligence claim: a guide for solicitors | Practical Law
A practical guide for solicitors who are instructed to defend a claim in negligence against a professional. It covers the following stages of a claim: pre-action issues (including the professional negligence pre-action protocol), evidence, privilege, and settlement. As many professionals have professional indemnity insurance, the note covers some of the issues that may arise when acting for either the insurer or an insured (or both).
