nervous wreck: We got a letter from our solicitor this week saying they couldn't act for clients on litigation with the developer as it would be a conflict of interest.

Have you been in contact with the legal complaints Service (from the Law Society) about the solicitors conduct now that they state it would be a conflict of interest to act on your behalf in litigation?
