    I think the difficulty here is that nobody will have been in an identical situation - and in these cases, the devil is always in the detail. The only person who can give you sensible advice is someone in possession of the full facts: your solicitor. 
    Yes that's very true, which makes this difficult to research and/or predict an outcome for. It would be good to hear from anyone who dealt with a 1975 claim that didn't go as far as court because those aren't visible.

    Solicitor is due to get back soon with next steps but is very concerned with what looks good to a judge, whereas with the occupation we want to know what's possible.
    That's definitely one your solicitor is best placed to answer, so at least you should have a response soon on that point.
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!
