Real-Life Scenarios

📅 Missed Deadline for Defence Filing

A client filed a claim against their law firm, alleging that their civil case was lost because the defence was submitted after the court deadline. Following investigation, it was confirmed that a timely submission could have altered the outcome. The client suffered a loss of approximately €50,000, which was covered under the policy.

👨‍⚖️ Crucial Witness Not Called

In another case, after an unfavourable court ruling, a client sued the law firm for allegedly failing to include a key witness. Although the firm proved in court that it had acted appropriately, the legal defence costs amounted to €35,000, which were fully reimbursed by the insurer.
