Listen "Patently due: Counsel’s fees"
Episode Synopsis
Have you ever noticed the pouch on the back of a barrister’s gown?
Legend had it that it was originally a purse into which refresher fees would be deposited to keep Counsel on their feet. This ties in with the notion that a barrister is not entitled to sue for their fees.
The High Court in Birmingham recently considered a case where a barrister sought to sue their instructing solicitor for non-payment of fees.
