Sorry. I’m made a right balls up explaining. :eek:

He instructed solicitor to postpone case not cancel. He was afraid of losing legal aid. She didn’t do this and she went to court on Monday despite having no instruction and knowing full well my friend was too ill to attend.
The judge has organised another hearing early December.

So she did do what he asked. A solicitor cannot just postpone a court case. This is a fundamental misunderstanding.


Once a date is set, the parties request an adjournment or withdraw the case entirely. The solicitor going was the best possible outcome really.


It sounds like the solicitor turned up, said my client has been taken ill and this needs to be adjourned. The judge agreed; and suggested in the meantime contact is arranged between the parties.
