Resolutions of the General Council of the Bar
of November 27th, 1914, in reference to
Barristers engaged in Military Service.
THAT with a view to preserving, so far as
possible, the practice of Barristers who are
unable to attend to their business owing to
their serving in His Majesty's Forces, or
otherwise
in
connection with
the war,
Solicitors be asked to adopt the following
procedure in every case in which a Solicitor
would normally have employed a Barrister
so serving :—
(1) The Solicitor to continue to place the
name of the Barrister so serving on briefs
and papers.
(2) The Solicitor to deliver such briefs
and papers, together with the fee marked
thereon, to such Barrister as he may in his
own discretion from time to time select,
and to invite such Barrister to hold the
brief or attend to the papers so delivered
to him on behalf of the Barrister whose
name is placed thereon.
That with a view to preserving, so far as
possible, the practice of every Barrister who
is unable to attend to his business owing to
his serving in His Majesty's Forces or other
wise in connection with the war (hereinafter
designated as A. B.),
the Bar Council
recommends :—
(a)
That all Barristers should make it a
point of honour to do what they can to
ensure that A. B. may get back his practice
intact when he resumes work at the Bar.
(b)
That all Barristers, whether senior or
junior to A B., should, so far as is reason
ably practicable, do the work of A. B.
(c)
That any Barrister doing the work for
A. B. should after his signature to any
pleadings or other documents add " for
A. B., now serving in His Majesty's Forces "
(or as the case may be), and if holding a
brief should state to the Court for whom
he is holding such brief and for what
reason.
