solicitor overpayment

Hi all

<snip>

a) Re word your original post and make it into a hypothetical question.

b) Provide more information. Specifically,
~ How much was the overpayment
~ When did you first learn of the overpayment (I find it difficult to believe the first thing the solicitor did was give 14 days to cough up the money)

c) Get a solicitor, regardless of the answer to in part b) you will need one.

The charter for this forum excludes any question that might provide an income to a solicitor, barrister or other part of the goldmining industry - or create a situation in which you believe you have received "legal advice" and decide to sue the forum or poster when things go wrong.

You can get away with personal questions seeking legal advice over in biz->consumer issues, but not here. If you rephrase the question as a general issue (e.g. imagine someone received some money from a will / bequest / probate and spent it / invested it / lives in a first home bought with it and then out of the blue / following a single enquiry / following months of negotiation had been ordered to return immediately a tiny sum / a huge wad of cash and can't pay / won't pay on principle / believes solicitors should pay for their own mistakes - then where would this person stand legally?) then people will point to the legal framework covering the issue.

You can then use the knowledge you gain from those references to interpret the specifics of your case in order to communicate more effectively with the legal representative that you will almost definitely need.

As above - Re word your question.

There are plenty of people here who could/would answer your question, but no one will until you

RE WORD YOUR QUESTION

Also - guys FYI I have read the charter and does not say a thing about posting Hypothetical situations?? Have scrolled through plenty of posts in here that describe real live situations. Can anyone explain to me why the 2 other posters on here seem to be intent on getting me to pose this question so differently??

Howdy,

The charter doesn't specifically say that you should word your posts in a hypothetical fashion, however it does specifically outlaw the requesting or giving of legal advice on the forum.

This for our protection and your protection.

If you word your post in such a way as a "What if this person....?" thread, without specifically requesting legal advice, that's fine.
