Failure to follow client's instructions - to appeal an order

I own property within sectional title. Owners in our scheme have total disregard for sectional title law. I took our trustees to CSOS (Ombud - see HelloPeter CSOS), was not allowed to present a case resulting in an atrocious order. Asked BBM law to appeal the case with the High Courts within the 30 day time-frame given after having paid them a retainer. BBM Law took it upon themselves to not appeal the order and when questioned, are blatantly dishonest. To proceed, now more than 5 months later, will be at a higher cost and more wasted time - I no longer trust them. I have requested a tax invoice to question what they have actually done and for the money to be returned - that is not forthcoming. For R50,000-00, BBM Law have written our managing agent a 4-page letter (simply summarizing the CSOS order) and forced us to sell our sectional title unit out of sheer desperation. The *******ion around sectional title is absolutely shocking, throughout the entire industry and all involved. I would never consider buying into sectional title again and would advise anyone against this form of investment. The appointed advocate stated - 'When you purchase a Sectional Title property, you give up all property rights' !!!!!!!!!! The legal fraternity are allowing this statement to be true, for obvious reasons.
