Jacqueline Quinn - An Apology
On 22nd December 2008 and again on 2nd February 2009 we published an article under the headings “Storms and Teacups” and “Storms and Teacups (2)” on the Action 4 Equality Scotland blog site – http://www.action4equalityscotland.blogspot.com/
In this article, we referred to an action which had been raised by Mrs Jacqueline Quinn against Stefan Cross in the Court of Session.
We now accept that Mrs Quinn was fully within her rights to challenge the Contingency Fee Agreement with Stefan Cross and acknowledge that on 16th December 2008 the Court granted an Order which declared that “the pretended contract for the provision of legal services entered into between the Defenders and Pursuer for the provision of legal services ...... is void and of no force or effect, ........” and that in the same Order the Court prohibited Stefan Cross from raising an action for payment against Mrs Quinn “for sums due under (the) pretended contract”.
Although Stefan Cross Solicitors chose not to defend the case in the Court of Session, we do accept Mrs Quinn was not in breach of any contract with Stefan Cross and apologise to her for any suggestion to the contrary, and for any offence this suggestion may have caused.
