520 _aLooks at the problems surrounding non-retained agents. Describes the case of "Lady Manor Ltd v Fat Cat Cafe Bars" (West London County Court, Abs64439) and its implications. The key message from this judgment is that an un-retained agent who sends a 'cold mail' letter cannot expect a fee for the information provided in that letter. However, notes that an offer to provide further information at a price could result in a fee.
