Not The Philosopher Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Woman claims lawyers should have told her divorce would end her marriage A British woman attempted to sue her former lawyers for professional negligence, claiming that, alongside a number of other allegations, they failed to advise that finalising divorce proceedings would inevitably cause her marriage to end. The curious case - made against two solicitor firms - had already been rejected by the court, but was revealed in the transcript of a later appeal by the claimant against the dismissal of other aspects of her case. Jane Mulcahy had argued that the lawyers should have made it clear that a divorce would cause her marriage to be terminated - something which she apparently wanted to avoid. The lawyers failed to regard her Roman Catholic faith and should have recommended judicial separation - a step down from full divorce - as an alternative course of action, she said. Indeed.

MarysLittleFlower Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) Technically... it's impossible to divorce a valid marriage, so... there's no such thing as divorce, properly speaking. ;) Edited March 3, 2014 by MarysLittleFlower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PadrePioOfPietrelcino Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Sometimes clients don't listen. Sometimes clients are really stupid. That reminds me how as a medic only two things can sum it all up. 1) WHY DID YOU WAIT SO LONG?!?! 2) Patients lie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
