Fox Mandal Delhi has released a statement that the London high court’s default judgment for £100,000 by Lawrence Karat, who had claimed negligence advice by the firm last year, has been set aside.

Fox’ lawyers Penningtons asked the claimant to discontinue action in the UK or face paying Fox’s costs.

Fox Mandal has instructed London firm Penningtons Solicitors to defend against the Rs 96 lakh professional negligence default judgment.

Fox Mandal did not appear before court to respond to the claim that the firm gave negligent advice in a patent application.
