    Solicitor not in statement of expenses accounts

    This may be irrelevant here, but in any case, could someone advise what it is meant by the claimant solicitors when they state in the bill of costs that they have been funded via a "private retainer" by the liquidators themselves? I think this leads to a conflict of interest. Thanks.

    It is subject to a valid appeal, but they are still trying to enforce, and harassing me with a bill of costs. Not sure how else I can explain that, because this is obviously harassment. In any case, does any insolvency practitioner know what a "private retainer" is that they are under with...

    Hi, I am the party that my friend Pierre had been asking about. A claim was issued by a company claimant, and then it subsequently went "into administration" 10 months prior to the trial. The Administrator did not make any contact with me or the court to advise of their undertaking, and the...
