referral from a mutual friend and Mr M’s instructions are for you to institute
legal action against Mr. Deen Ros for his negligent driving that resulted in
the personal injury damages he has suffered, and Mrs M seeks to sue for
the costs to repair the damages to the boundary wall of her property. 4
