    Barrister advice £360
    In 2008 I retained a Barrister at £250 an hour.
    I take it that you got a terse response to your request then!

    Out of interest, and you may already have covered this, but what advice did the barrister give you?
  • Actually, they were at Cambridge!
    Dam it!

    Shall we split the difference and say the Cambridge ones became more famous?

    I think there could have been some at Oxford, but the KGB probably had more luck at Cambridge...

    I saw him very soon after Maxi’s death. The reason I have chosen him was because he was also qualified vet and I thought he can tell me what had happened to my dog. I already had most mortem report and other documents that my forensic vet had and I have supplied him all of this. However very soon into our meeting I knew that he was not going to say anything against the vet I was very disappointed however he did say I will not get anywhere with RCVS and he was right up to this point.
    As I said they care for their own, I was very lucky to find the forensic expert who did not mind giving me the true opinion.

    How did you calculate that?



    So, that's £1177.78 you spent on "advice", yet you've also left out the 40 pages of help you've been given on here. If I'd realised that everyone else was billing you for it, I would have too!
    How much of that advice told you that you should sue and you would definitely win?

    You have missed Maxie's creamation.

    No, I didn't miss it, that is a value which is fixed and definite. You had to spend that. What I am interested in was how you arrived at the "economic value" for Maxie. Once you answer that one, then I'll explain the second point I was querying.
    1. Have you tried to Google the answer?
    2. If you were in the other person's shoes, how would you react?
    3. Do you want a quick answer or better understanding?

    That is how much I have paid for him when I have bought him for my mum. That is what they call economic value since in this country my dog is a "thing"
