No one is stopping you getting whatever [[Legal advice|advice]] you want to, ''on your dime''. It’s a free country. And no one is stopping you ''relying'' on whatever advice you get. That’s a [[custodian]]’s prerogative. | No one is stopping you getting whatever [[Legal advice|advice]] you want to, ''on your dime''. It’s a free country. And no one is stopping you ''relying'' on whatever advice you get. That’s a [[custodian]]’s prerogative. That you ''did'' get advice may even be (weak) evidence that you discharged your [[duty of care]] and weren’t, factually, [[negligent]]. | ||

Folks, it’s like this: If you choose to get [[legal advice]], but it’s wrong, and you rely on it, and you end up [[Breach of contract|breaching your contract]] [[Causation|causing]] your client a [[loss]], the answer is ''not'' to [[Disclaimer|disclaim]] your liability to your client: ''it is to sue the arse off your lawyer''. That’s what you pay the blighters for: so they, and that juicy [[professional indemnity insurance]] policy they never seem to claim on, will cover your poor, huddled self. By paying your lawyer’s bill you are paying your little portion of that insurance premium. | Folks, it’s like this: If you choose to get [[legal advice]], but it’s wrong, and you rely on it, and you end up [[Breach of contract|breaching your contract]] [[Causation|causing]] your client a [[loss]], the answer is ''not'' to [[Disclaimer|disclaim]] your liability to your client: ''it is to sue the arse off your lawyer''.
