But to be fair, it's not your solicitor's fault either, and they have already done their work.
If you went to the hairdresser, and had your hair washed, cut and coloured, and then for whatever reason didn't want to go ahead with having it blow-dried, would you still expect to pay the hairdresser?0 -

You cannot compare that example with the solicitors, completely different scenario. But to answer your question I would pay for that was done, why would I pay for work that wasn't done?
Richard, Thank you for your input, I am quite happy to pay part of the fees but not ALL the fees.0
