Dammit in reply to @Howard

I believe so. I'd have thought, unless the freehold directors have collectively gone loopy, they would be quite interested and possibly slightly disturbed by their agent attacking one of their stakeholders.

Our directors are a classic example of what I believe is known as "regulatory capture", they are the lick-spittles and boot-licks of the managing agent.

Hence my loss of temper a little while ago with the managing director of the residents committee, which I believe that Matt overheard.

So weird.

My mind boggles a bit. Has the MA sent you an updated services charges bill with the legal fee as a new line item? If not, I can't imagine how the solicitor could ever take you to court to get their fee. Or are the solicitors taking you to court on behalf of the MA, to get you to pay the newly updated service charge demand, which happens to have their fee appended to it?

Jokers either way I'd have thought, but there you go. If you did receive an updated demand with the legal fee appended to it I would do as BleakRefs says and take them to tribunal.
