案例1：Rondel v Worsley [1969] 1 AC 191 ：
案件背景
- 案件起因
：Rondel在1959年因故意伤害罪被起诉，并在没有法律援助的情况下，由Worsley律师代表其进行辩护。Rondel对Worsley的辩护表现不满，认为其辩护不当导致自己被定罪。 - 诉讼过程
：Rondel在服刑后于1965年对Worsley提起诉讼，指控其在辩护过程中存在过失。
法院判决
- 初审与上诉
：初审法院和上诉法院均认为Rondel的诉讼请求不成立。 - 上议院判决
：案件最终上诉到上议院，上议院维持了之前的判决，认为律师在诉讼过程中对客户没有注意义务。上议院的判决基于公共政策的考虑，认为如果允许客户对律师提起过失诉讼，可能会导致律师在履行职责时受到干扰，从而影响司法公正。
案件影响
- 确立原则
：该案件确立了律师在诉讼过程中对客户没有注意义务的原则，这一原则被称为“律师豁免原则”。 - 后续发展
：这一原则在后来的案件中被进一步讨论和细化，例如在Arthur JS Hall and Co v Simons一案中，法院对律师的豁免范围进行了重新界定。
案件背景
- 事故经过
：1966年，Saif Ali作为乘客在一辆面包车中时，该车与一辆汽车发生碰撞，导致Ali和司机Akram受伤。 - 法律诉讼
：Ali和Akram咨询了Sydney Mitchell & Co律师事务所，并由该所指派的律师起草诉状，将汽车车主Sugden作为被告。然而，律师未能在诉讼时效内将Sugden的妻子（汽车司机）或司机Akram加入为被告。 - 后续诉讼
：Ali对律师事务所提起诉讼，认为其未能妥善处理案件，导致其无法向其他责任人索赔。
法院判决
- 初审与上诉
：初审法院和上诉法院均认为律师享有豁免权，不应因过失行为被起诉。 - 上议院判决
：上议院推翻了上诉法院的判决，认为律师的豁免权不应扩展到法庭外的行为。法院指出，律师在法庭外的行为，如诉讼策略建议等，不应享有豁免权。
案件影响
- 豁免权的限制
：该案件明确了律师豁免权的范围，限制了其在法庭外的行为中的适用。这意味着律师在法庭外的行为，如诉讼策略建议、和解谈判等，不再享有豁免权，客户可以对其提起过失诉讼。 -
案件背景
- 案件起因
：Arthur JS Hall and Co律师事务所代表客户进行诉讼，客户对律师的表现不满，认为律师在诉讼过程中存在过失，导致客户利益受损，因此提起诉讼。 In the first case, in a protracted dispute for a building, the plaintiff’s solicitors acted for the opposite side. In the second case, during matrimonial ancillary relief proceedings, the plaintiff’s solicitors failed to provide her with proper advice on the valuation and division of the proceeds of a sale and lodged a minute of order which recorded an inaccurate valuation. In the third case, during matrimonial ancillary relief proceedings, the plaintiff’s solicitors advised her on the appropriate level of periodical payments and on the possibility of contributions from the husband’s cohabitee, but on the day of the trial, a different counsel persuaded the plaintiff to settle at a lower level of relief on the incorrect assumption that the husband’s relationship with the cohabitee had ended. All plaintiffs lodged negligence claims against their solicitors. - 律师的辩护
：律师辩称，他们在诉讼过程中享有豁免权，不应因过失行为而被起诉。
Issues
Are the solicitors liable in negligence if they mislead their clients and they suffer loss as a result of this?
Decision
(1) Reversing Rondel v Worsley [1969] 1 AC 191, 【英国废除】in light of the changes in the law of negligence, the functioning of the legal profession, the administration of justice and public perceptions, the advocates’ immunity from suit is no longer appropriate.
(2) The liability of advocates for misleading their clients will not diminish the standards of advocacy as courts are able to judge between errors of judgement, which are inevitable, and true negligence. Thus, the floodgates for negligence claims against solicitors will not be open.
(3) Negligence claims against solicitors are not an abuse of process of the court as under r. 24.2, Part 24 Civil Procedure Rules 1998, the court has powers to give a summary judgement if a claim is unlikely to succeed.
