Legal terminology
Discussion
OK - I'm posting for a friend here, so I don't have all the details. But in summary it appears that some time ago he was having some legal wrangles with a company and long story short he instructed a company of solicitors to take the the other guys to court/proceed with legal action.
The solicitors however decided to continue to negotiate with the other parties, against his instruction, and are pursuing him for more fees.He's pissed off and wants to use appropriate terminology in his correspondence with these solicitors.
Is there a term for what they have done? Is it just acting without client instruction? He thinks to use 'conflict of interest', but I'm not sure that is correct.
Any legal eagles out there can help?
English is not my mate's first language BTW.
TIA
