Yes, I am trying to ascertain if it is unlawful for a law firm to allow an individual to instruct their services under the name of a dissolved company. They led me to believe that it was all acceptable but I have only just now found out that it is unlikely to have been a lawful issuance of a contract. They have defended it, during my complaints process, by stating 'It is unusual, given the uncertainty it creates contractually for the perspective purchaser, but it is legitimate and legal'. However, my new firm of solicitors were not willing to allow instruction until the company is restored - which alerted me to the fact that perhaps it is unlawful
It seems like your new solicitors are cautious about the legal status of the dissolved company. Here are some key points to consider:
- Dissolved Company: Generally, a dissolved company cannot enter into contracts until it is restored.
- Solicitors' Conduct: Allowing instruction under a dissolved company's name could be seen as professional misconduct.
- Restoration: Restoring the company might clarify the legal standing and allow proper instruction.

Is there anything else I can help you with?
Well I guess I would like to know your thoughts on a solicitor phoning a client and proceeding to fabricate a phone call he deems he and myself had 10 days prior (for which he offered to send me the log and the phone call he had with me - which neither he nor his firm have done and they have admitted that there is no log of the call ever being made (although he STILL maintains, 4 months later, that we did speak on the phone)) and proceeds to fabricate a multitude of untrue facts. Is this illegal fraudulent misrepresentation? It is easily proven that we did not speak but his insistence that we did has caused a lot of distress to me
