Do try to keep up Stu.
Smudge's claim is against the other party who only has a duty of care under the Law. Yes, Smudge's OP was as regards his insurance company, but that's irelevant if he's not relying on his claim against the 3rd party under the law.

No it isn't - if Smudge in accepting the terms of his insurance agreed to the company making such a decision without reference to him there isn't a question of the law at all, it's still an agreement freely made between two parties.

I got desperate and put posters up for witnesses just sorting through the jokers now.
I phoned my crap solicitors Horwich Farrely and they said they haven't dropped the case but they have been a waste of space with regards to advice or communication. And they say if someone else takes it on they will have to pay their costs

Suggest you complain (in writing) and demand improvement. They will have to take it seriously.
