Quick question for the legal people on here.

We are involved in a legal dispute over a boundary with someone who purchased land beside us a few years ago. They initially made direct contact with us, and we went to our solicitor. They then had a solicitor involved very briefly, but over the past year, they have been directly contacting our solicitor with all kinds of letters and emails demanding proof or this and that. This all seems like a play so that they are leeching money from us as we have to pay our solicitors' time, but they have no legal costs.

My query is, can they keep contacting our solicitor directly, or can we insist that any communications to our solicitor go through their solicitor, so at the very least, they are also incurring expenses? It might make them think twice about sending communications/requests to our solicitor.

My home insurance is up for renewal. I have been pricing around and have got a very competitive quote from Direct Line. It includes family legal protection, annual travel insurance and home emergency cover all of which I don't have at the minute. All of this plus higher limits on various claims paid out is coming in at a much cheaper price than my current insurance renewal.

Anyone had any dealings with Direct Line and are they any use?

Have any of the mods ever looked into installing a responsive theme for the board to make reading and navigating the site a bit more user friendly on a mobile device?

I'm not that familiar with the Simple Machines setup but I believe a few exist. How good they are might be a different story but just curious to see if anyone has ever looked into this.
