concerning the appointed time, or time of a past event
The solicitor has been informed of a time in connection with a case.
Could be the time when he will have to appear in court, or it could be a time which forms part of the evidence.
Actually, "time and place" is such a common cliché in English that I wonder if the last word could be a misprint and should be PLACE (but this is pure speculation, "pace" could make sense too, concerning the speed at which he may be required to make his statements in court).

: PACE as Mark says. It reads to me as a disclosure regarding a relevant time. The "er" indicates that there was something not totally satisfactory about how the disclosure was made.

Thank you. Yes. I get the impression that the solicitor resents someone trying to tell him how to do his job.
