Yes perhaps I can expand the link to the A&S Discip Board and share some tips on how to prepare for an official complaint. Good idea.

Dos and donts when dealing with lawyers? Lol. I wouldn't dare! 
Have you tried it,bro? As in calling up BC direct to find out a lawyer's discip record? 

What I know is that if you want to get some info on a particular lawyer [for example his BC number, his official address, etc], you need to pay some search fees. I doubt if a lawyer's disciplinary record can be obtained through a phone call to BC, but do feel free to prove me wrong if you have tried it. 

I have included a link where one can check whether one's lawyer has been found guilty in disciplinary proceedings ("hall of shame"). But for that, one would have to read through it manually.

Thanks for the input 

Nonsense! You only pay stamp duty when the valuation come back from govt.

I think you had better switch lawyer, if you want better lawyer, PM me.

Means I only have to pay the lawyer 50% of the stamp duty right?

Hi Dario, thanks for the clear explanation.    But, y u called me 'boss' r? I am not. 

Ok, back to the topic.

I hv told the lawyer i will bring the case to court and the owner was threatened and considering to change her mind.

However, i did not hear anything from the lawyer since then.

I would like to share with you some of my SPA lawyer's problems:
1) According to the SPA, the Completion Date (3+1 mths) shall start when the 2nd MOT is in favor of me.

On 22/09/11, the SPA lawyer advised that the Completion Date & Extended Completion Date shall fall on 12/12/2011 and 12/01/2012 respectively.
I refered to the email & sent her email to ask her for the evidence for the 2nd MOT, she NEVER reply. And she didnt send the original letter to my loan solicitor!
2) On 21/10/2011, the SPA lawyer emailed to me and said:
I was pissed-off and sent her email to ask her y she advised 2 different Completion Dates & Extended Completion Dates, AGAIN, SHE NEVER REPLY!! and She dares not to send out the original letter to my loan solicitor.
3) On 1 December 2011, the SPA lawyer said in her email that (fyi, same date at night, the SPA lawyer called me to tell me about the Owner's intention to cancel the deal):
My loan solicitor wrote to them officially to ask for all the B&W from her, she has not reply. So my Completion Date is not started yet since my loan solicitor has not received any B&W from the SPA lawyer. 
Angel Dario  , pls give me some advices. The SPA lawyer is playing all the tricks and didnt care much about her Client.

May i know:
1) Is email an valid evidence for me to lodge a complaint to the Bar Council? (She always CONFIRM many things in the emails but never send over the original cover letters, even my loan solicitor requested for it)
2) My fren asked me to request for a Performance Monitoring from the Bar Council. Does it work?
3) I doubt she has submitted the 2nd MOT for adjudication. Is there any way to check without going thru her?
4) How can she simply advised the Completion Date? and changed the Date at her wish? What can i do?
5) Pls give me some advices on dealing with Lawyer like this. Even my loan solicitor cant stand the SPA lawyer oledi.
Pls 

Thanks
