Cobbetts is under increasing pressure after a fellow defendant in a major fraud and negligence case was ordered to pay £10m last month. A summary judgment in the case brought by Cheshire Building Society saw Dunlop Haywards told to make an interim payment of £10m. Negligence experts believe that the Manchester-based law firm, which is understood to be facing a claim of less than £2m, could now be liable for an increased amount if Dunlop Haywards is unable to pay.
