Former partners of collapsed law firm Cobbetts are facing a multimillion pound claim from a former client, who alleges the firm was professionally negligent and engaged in misrepresentation. The news comes as adminstrators KPMG confirmed they would be extending the process to August.

The claim is being brought by Leicestershire-based businessman David Frosdick, who instructed the firm to advise him on losses and injury sustained in a road accident in August 2007.
