I know all about Which? thank you very much. What they don't seem to
realise, however, is that DL as solicitors only act on behalf of
their clients and under their instructions.

Perhaps the head of Which? legal services doesn't know as much about
the law as you do Norm.

Maybe. Maybe not. Who knows?

I wonder, does a firm of solicitors have to work to certain s in their
work - or can they say - I was following my client's instructions?
What do you think Norm?

A solicitor has to act at all times within the law and within his professional code of conduct, different sanctions applying in each case. He cannot just blindly follow his clients' instructions if that would cause him to breach either.

Do you think DL have breached either the law or their professional code of conduct? If so, do please tell us exactly why.

He doesn't have to, he didn't make an official complaint about them. Which, on the other hand, did, and I've no doubt that they checked very carefully before doing so. After all, having published the info that they (Which) had reported them (DL), especially given the particularly odious oooooops sorry I mispelt litigious nature of the company concerned, I reckon that Which wouldn't risk a libel action if they weren't extremely sure of their ground.
