PER CURIAM:
The present action is by a lawyer against a former client to recover compensation on a quantum meruit basis.
The lawyer had taken a case on a contingent fee and had commenced an action for his client to recover $5,182.06. We shall refer to that as the original action to distinguish it from the present action. Thereafter, the defendant, in the original action, answered and cross-complained for "roughly fifty thousand dollars."
