The Law Society has confirmed it is seeking permission to intervene in the case of Dreamvar (UK) Ltd v Mishcon de Reya (a firm). In 2017, the High Court ruled that Mishcon de Reya should be responsible for the costs of a client who bought a property from an individual who was posing as the owner. The court found the firm was liable for breach of trust. The Law Society president said the body was intervening due to the potentially substantial implications for property solicitors.
