Who knows? We’re pretty old school here so I select my own
appropriate experts. I think in England a lot of firms use
clearinghouses to do that for them.

The much bigger problem in the US is that costs don't follow the
event, which as you might imagine can have very perverse
consequences.

I have just posted a thread.
Can you explain to me what costs follow the event means EXACTLY?
What is the EVENT? Can there be a chain of events. You'll
probably understand what I am getting at if you read my post
and, if not, I shall explain.

Costs follow the event means that the loser of any particular
claim or application normally pays the winner’s costs.

So it's as simple as that.
I'll revert to my post about this then - "This will raise a
laugh... CONTENTIOUS PROBATE!"
Thanks SP.

Just noticed you marked my reply as DUMB!
I have a lot of respect for you and can only assume perhaps
wrongly that you hit the wrong button or have misconstrued what
I wrote…

Yeah, that will have been fat fingers, sorry. Marking it “dumb”
doesn’t even make sense.

I posted about my woeful life in the non traffic legal advice
section. Sadly no-one replied and it’s still rumbling on
The ******* emailed me the other day to say the reason they have
not distributed the estate is because my brother hasn’t replied
with his bank details.
I wrote back to say I care not if his inheritance sits in their
bank account for 20 years.
So not linked to this post but my solicitor keeps talking about
costs after the event. But I never understood what ‘THE EVENT’
is classed as.
Feel free to read and comment on that other post. No-one has
done so far.
3 years plus of sheer hell and my mother still hasn’t been
interred.
