Bryan Carter discontinued but new Shoosmiths steps in

[eggbound]

Ok this has been going on for nearly a year.

Thought we had a victory when Bryan Carter discontinued with our fast tracked Egg case at Listing Standard Disclosure stage but today we received a letter from Shoosmiths , 10 days later than the judge ordered us to exchange lists asking us to be patient as they do not have all documentation!

Can we get this struck out now?

Getting really tired of all this, would we be liable for both solicitors costs?

They have not got a Default Notice and have not supplied all the information so far relating to this case.

Worried about posting all details here but is this normal for Egg to sack Bryan Carter and appoint another solicitor and can we object to this?

Anyone?

Did Bryan Carter withdraw or discontinue the case?

 

There’s a step missing here, of Shoesmiths issuing a claim. Can you provide more info? Then we can decide if it’s res judicata.

Unlike many lucky people here, Bryan Carter did not withdraw the case as there was no letter of discontinuation from the court. Instead Egg, as far as I'm aware replaced him with Shoosmiths.Not having had anything from Carters but was sent letter and a form from Shoosmiths with a change of Solicitors which they submitted to the court nine days after we should have received the Listing Disclosure from Carters. I hope that Egg have messed up because no one responded to the District Judges order of compliance except us which we sent to both Carter and the court in good time.

Thank you for your response.
