Discharge of counsel's fees

It has come to the attention of the Litigation Committee that some counsel are experiencing delays in the discharge of their fees by solicitors.

The committee will not and cannot condone the withholding of fees.

Practitioners are urged to discharge barristers' fees as soon as they are put in funds to enable them to do so.
