An Attorney-at-Law shall, at the time of retainer, disclose to his client, all the\u00a0circumstances of his relations to the parties with whom the client intends to bring an\u00a0action, and his interest in or in connection with the controversy, (if any), which might\u00a0influence the client in his selection of an attorney-at-law.<\/p><p>23. An attorney-at-law shall scrupulously guard and never divulge his client\u2019s\u00a0secrets and confidences, except with his client\u2019s consent.<\/p><p>24. An attorney-at-law shall treat adverse witnesses, litigants, and other Attorneys-at-Law with fairness and courtesy, refraining from all offensive personal references\u00a0and shall avoid demeaning his client\u2019s personal views.<\/p><p>25. It is the right and duty of an Attorney-at-Law to undertake the defence of a\u00a0person accused of a crime, regardless of his own personal opinion as to the guilt of the\u00a0person; and having undertaken such defence, he is bound by all fair and honourable\u00a0means, to present every appropriate defence that the law of the land permits, so that no\u00a0person may be deprived of life or liberty except by due process of the law.<\/p><p>26.\u2014(1) An Attorney-at-Law may represent multiple clients only if he can adequately\u00a0represent the interest of each, and if each consents to such representation, after full\u00a0disclosure of the possible effects of multiple representation.<\/p><p>(2) In all situations where a possible conflict of interest arises, an Attorney-at-Law shall resolve all conflicts by leaning against multiple representation.<\/p><p>(3) Notwithstanding any other paragraph of this Part, no Attorney-at-Law shall\u00a0represent both the<\/p><p>(a) mortgagor and mortgagee; or<\/p><p>(b) vendor and vendee<\/p><p>except where both parties seek independent legal advice and present evidence of the\u00a0written consent of both parties to such joint representation.<\/p><p>27.\u2014(1) An attorney-at-Law shall deal with his client\u2019s business with all due\u00a0expedition and shall, whenever reasonably so required by the client, provide him with\u00a0full information as to the progress of the client\u2019s business.<\/p><p>(2) It is improper for an Attorney-at-Law to accept instructions in a matter\u00a0unless he can handle it without undue delay.<\/p><p>28. Where an Attorney-at-Law determines that the interest of his client requires it, he may, with the specific or general consent of the client, refer his business, or part of it to another attorney-at-law, whether or not a member of his own firm.<\/p><p>29.\u2014(1) An Attorney-at-Law on the record may instruct one or more Attorneys-at-Law\u00a0to appear as advocates.<\/p><p>(2) A Queen\u2019s Counsel shall be entitled to accept instructions, appear, or do\u00a0any work without a junior, unless by doing so, he would be unable to properly carry\u00a0out his instructions or conduct his case.<\/p><p>(3) Where more than one Attorney-at-Law appears as an advocate for the same\u00a0party in the same proceedings, the decision of who shall lead the conduct of that\u00a0case shall, subject to the instructions of the client, be settled by the attorneys-at-law\u00a0representing that party before they appear in court, and shall not be altered during the\u00a0course of the proceedings, and the leader shall have all authority over the conduct of\u00a0the case.<\/p><p>30. An attorney-at-Law, including a Queen\u2019s Counsel, who appears with the leader,\u00a0is entitled to negotiate with the leader, a fee for his services.<\/p><p>31.\u2014(1) An Attorney-at-Law is entitled to reasonable compensation for his services,\u00a0but should avoid charges which either over-estimate or undervalue the services\u00a0rendered.<\/p><p>(2) The ability of a client to pay, should not justify a charge in excess of the\u00a0value of the service rendered, though the client\u2019s indigence may require a charge that\u00a0is below such value, or even no charge at all.<\/p><p>32. An Attorney-at-Law should avoid controversies with clients regarding\u00a0compensation for his services, as far as is compatible with self-respect, and his right\u00a0to receive reasonable compensation for his services.<\/p><p>33. The right of an Attorney-at-Law to ask for a retainer, or to demand payment\u00a0of out-of-the-pocket expenses and commitments, failing payment of which, he may\u00a0withdraw from the case, or refuse to handle it, shall not be exercised, where the client\u00a0may be unable to find other assistance in time to prevent irreparable damage being\u00a0done to his cause.<\/p><p>34. Where an Attorney-at-Law engages a foreign colleague to advise on a case, or\u00a0to cooperate in handling it, he is responsible for the payment of the latter\u2019s charges,\u00a0except where there is express agreement to the contrary, but where an Attorney-at-Law\u00a0directs a client to a foreign Attorney-at-Law, he is not responsible for the payment of the latter\u2019s charges, nor is he entitled to a share of the fee of the foreign Attorney-at-Law.<\/p><p>35. An Attorney-at-Law may at any time withdraw his services\u2014<\/p><p>(a) where the client fails, refuses, or neglects to carry out an agreement with,\u00a0or his obligation to, the Attorney-at-Law, as regards the expenses or fees\u00a0payable by the client;<\/p><p>(b) where his inability to work with colleagues, or to advocate the case of\u00a0his client in court, indicates that the best interest of the client is likely to\u00a0be served by his withdrawal;<\/p><p>(c) where his client freely assents to the termination of his services;<\/p><p>(d) where by reason of his mental or physical condition, or other good\u00a0and compelling reasons, it is difficult for him to carry out his services\u00a0effectively; or<\/p><p>(e) in cases of conflict, as contemplated under these Rules.<\/p><p>36. \u2014(1) An Attorney-at-Law should not appear as a witness for his own client,\u00a0except as to merely formal matters.<\/p><p>(2) Where an Attorney-at-Law is a necessary witness for his client, with\u00a0respect to matters other than such as are merely formal, he should entrust the conduct\u00a0of the case to another Attorney-at-Law of his client\u2019s choice.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
