Or as they say on their [broken link removed]:Mr Justice Brian McGovern said the breach of duty by BCM Hanby Wallace to KBC was “egregious” and “most serious” because the firm not only failed to ensure proper security was in place but deliberately misled the bank by either suggesting security was in place or the funds would not be released to the borrowers until security was in place.
The breach of duty amounted to “a deception” because the firm was aware the required security was not in place but led the bank to believe it was, he said.
The firm, which is based in Grand Canal Square in Dublin, changed its name to ByrneWallace in 2010.

BYRNE WALLACE expressed shock at yesterday’s High Court ruling, and is believed to be considering appealing the decision.“We’re clearly very disappointed with the outcome and shocked at the suggestion of deception. We’re considering all our options going forward,” a spokesman for the legal firm said.
Have you a question Brendan?
egregious: conspicuously and outrageously bad or reprehensible, heavy stuff from his Judgeship.
By the way, there's no point in people acting shocked; why should solicitors be immune to the same culture that was endemic in this country for the last 40 years (and probably still is)?
What's interesting is that the original firm no longer exists, so how are KBC able to take a case against them.

Sorry but I find this case shocking. That a large Dublin firm could act so negligently, it's the basics of the job to make sure that title is good for the bank.
