It has nothing to do with a mortgage.Does the finance loss relate to the mortgage provider or the solicitor?
You might have a case with the mortgage provider, if possible via the Financial Services Ombudsman.
It's hard to advise when you are being to cryptic.
Thank you for the recommendation. Much appreciated.A solicitor being sanctioned by the Law Society does not necessarily mean that the solicitor was negligent.
You really need to go to an experienced solicitor in negligence for definitive advice, I can highly recommend https://www.holohanlaw.ie/staff/bill-holohan/ who does take on negligence cases (provided he does not have a conflict.)

It sounds like it's a failure of regulation alright.The sanction may be good for others to be aware but it's not right that a regulated professional can get away with this.
+1.It sounds like it's a failure of regulation alright.
Solicitors are just as susceptible to human weakness as anyone else so it's important that regulation works and is seen to work. That said you are not going to overhaul the legal industry, even Ministers for Justice can't do that.
Thanks all for the useful information on PI.
On the claims made basis, the solicitor advised me they could not get cover earlier this year. I assume that also means they cannot get a practising certificate? There is nothing listed on the link provided for a current insurer anyway.
Is the last known insurer, the insurer of record ? I have sent an email to the relevant section looking for previous insurers.
My concerns is has taken a long time to get to this point and I have then sat on it a bit. If there is something to pursue, I would engage a solicitor.
The solicitor was highly recommended but things went downhill at a point afterwards. I had a feeling all was not right and threatened to change solicitors. Things improved for a while and I stayed. Its something I regret, but cannot change now.
