Why do Barristers have to take instructions from Barristers and Solicitors?
It is commonly known as the Intervention Rule. A trust account is operated by a “Barrister and Solicitor”. It is a protection for both the Barrister and the client; for the Barrister against non payment by a client, and for the client against exorbitant fees being charged. A Barrister has to account for his fee to the instructing Solicitor. If a Barrister’s fee is not paid into the trust account then only the instructing Solicitor can sue for the Barrister’s fee.
