Where more than one person instructs a barrister advice cost

Where more than one person instructs a barrister advice cost, they share responsibility for payment unless the barrister agrees otherwise in writing.

This is to ensure that the client is not held to ransom by one party who is unwilling to pay. The barrister should not be made to choose between clients and cannot be left with an unjustified bill that will be passed on to others via increased legal aid fees.

A person who instructs a barrister advice cost

If you instruct a barrister advice cost on behalf of another person, you are jointly responsible with that other person for payment.

You will be responsible for the full cost of your barrister’s work from the moment they give their advice until they have received full payment. Even if they don’t complete their work because there is no money left in the account, you will still owe them for all of the time worked.
