FOIL Ireland Event – Renewal Failures and the Real Value of Lost Claims
Event Details
Recent case law has made one point unmistakably clear: solicitor error in renewing summonses will no longer be excused. As renewal failures increasingly give rise to claims against defaulting solicitors, a difficult question follows — what is the true value of the lost litigation opportunity, especially where the underlying claim was weak or even hopeless?
This session explores the emerging case law on renewal of summonses, the growing exposure for defaulting, and the challenge of valuing subsequent claims when the original action had limited prospects. We’ll examine how courts are approaching these issues, what insurers and practitioners should expect, and how to assess quantum when the defaulting solicitor becomes the defendant instead of the original tortfeasor.
A practical, timely update for anyone handling professional indemnity, litigation risk, or solicitor‑related claims.
