Am I just being thick? Solicitor's letter

[reflexboy]

Hi-I recieved a solicitor's letter in respect of a personally injury claim and he says: 'I will send you the attendance cheque as soon as it is to hand'.....Any idea what an 'attendance cheque' is, as opposed to a normal cheque?

You'd best ask him what he's on about.

My missus is a PI lawyer, and she's never heard of it.

Fink I will ring Daddy-He's very clever you know.

Anything to do with the benefit -ATTENDANCE ALLOWANCE? on the other hand it might just be a typo error. Best to ask for clarification as suggested

And what's wrong with plain, easy to understand Engrish, Mr solicitor? It was the sentance after 'I am pleased to inform you that I have now settled your claim in the sum of £---- in full and final settlement of your claim.' ??

Give them a taste of their own medicine:

"Thank you for your letter informing me of my attendance cheque. I shall be actioning my authorised formation response to you interfrastically (as I'm sure you'll understand my reason for such).

With apologies to Mrs Imadoofus: Solicitor = Word-stretcher (thanks to a Mr C Dickens)

Methinks he/she might have dictated attendant cheque.

Still amounts to absurd nonsensical legal jargon, of course, but if it means they will forward the cheque to you rather than stick in their client account for a few weeks, you got a result.

I will revert to you in due course......
