MORRIS v WILLIAMS & CO SOLICITORS [2024] EWCA Civ 376
It is not an abuse of process for multiple claimants to issue a single claim form for separate claims of professional negligence against a firm of solicitors. Claimants can use a single claim to start all claims that can be conveniently disposed of in the same proceedings. That test was satisfied in this case because common questions of law or fact arose in all the claims and all the claims arose out of the same series of transactions.
