manchester Law Firms Settle Web Spat

A dispute between two Manchester law firms has ended with a modest payout to two clients whose case studies were used on a firm’s website. The argument began when a solicitor moved from Geoffrey Miller to Olliers, which then featured on its site some motoring cases she had worked on. Geoffrey Miller claimed that some of the clients whose cases were highlighted had not been approached by Olliers for permission. Three clients threatened legal action, as did the firm itself.

The troublemaker picked the wrong man: former welterweight Leach reacted with pugilistic despatch and landed Noel O’Brien on his backside on the courthouse steps, a court heard last week.
