Mr Brown bought a house. He used his solicitor to carry out the Conveyancing. The only way to gain access to the house was by driving over some land that was owned by his neighbour.

After he had lived at the house for 2 years, he was told by his neighbour that he could not drive over their land anymore.

Mr Brown's solicitors had not investigated the title documents for the house properly and had not advised him about access problems.

Mr Brown has a case against his solicitors for professional negligence.
