A friend of mine has engaged a solicitor to compel a party to an agreement to fulfill his obligations. The solicitor thinks my friend has a good case and has engaged a barrister with all the details for over a year now. When my friend questioned his solicitor about the delay , the solicitor said the barrister was very busy with other cases and other barristers were not as good.This is a fairly straight forward dispute and it seems to me any barrister would be able to prepare it for court.It seems like the solicitor is dragging his heels and while my friend doesn`t want to confront his solicitor he is getting very impatient.Any advise would be welcome
Happens all the time. The best barristers get majority of briefs and can be difficult to get papers from. However once you see them in action in court you will see why your solicitor wanted that particular barrister. Most of the experienced barristers are very competent but there are always a few top class ones in each circuit who are just amazing on their feet.
Surely a case should be decided on its merits, and not by the quality of the advocate?

Yes... but waiting a year?
