Henrietta engaged a firm of solicitors to obtain an injunction to prevent a former
male friend from visiting her and making a nuisance of himself. An unqualified
litigation clerk was given the matter to handle, but his incompetence over an 11-
month period created further embarrassment for Henrietta. Has Henrietta any
claim against the firm for ‘mental distress and upset’?
