can he do this after all this time?
Tell him that you will pay it in 4 years.

You could certainly build a defence around it, especially where hardship or an inability to pay might currently exist.

All advice on AAM is remote from the situation and cannot be relied upon as a defence or support - in and of itself - should legal action be taken.
Competent legal professionals should be asked to advise in Real Life with rights to inspect and issue reports on the matters at hand.
That's good to know, counsel.
LOL!
I'm not a Counsel, as you well know Vanilla, and no one can pre-empt a court judgement result.
But if you're going to pick a fight with a solicitor on fees, you have to look ahead to where it will end up.
Solicitors like to throw shapes and threaten legal action because they can take a case relatively cheaply.
That doesn't mean you can't strike a pose with them in return.
The OP's job is to make it look less costly to offer a discount after such a significant delay in invoicing rather than fight a court battle the outcome of which may be in doubt.
Part of my job is to write report on buildings supporting affected owners claims - several of these have been settled in my clients' favour on the steps of the courts after the defendants consider the balance of probabilities.

dahamsta said:I have to say, on a general level, anyone that issued me with an invoice after a 12 months or so would have it sent back with a big smiley face on it
Yes, the solicitor was slow in issuing the invoice = this is often due to pressure of work in meeting current deadlines.
Did it never occur to the poster to enquire what he owed the solicitor for the work done, or did he think some other party had paid for the service
The liability would not be statute barred until six years has expired.
With respect to Ong periods of limitation set out in the Planning Act 2000 ( currently 7 years ) are irrelevant in contract law.
