If you’re going to denigrate someone, at least try to base it on what actually happens - he’s a barrister, not a solicitor, so must adhere to the " cab rank" rule (it’s one of the basic tenets of British Law, to ensure legal representation is equitable).
Quote:
In English law (and other countries which adopt the rule), the cab-rank rule is the obligation of a barrister to accept any work in a field in which they profess themselves competent to practise, at a court at which they normally appear, and at their usual rates. The rule derives its name from the tradition by which a Hackney carriage driver at the head of a queue of taxicabs is supposed to take the first passenger requesting a ride.
The cab rank rule is set out at rC29 of the Bar Standards Board Handbook. It states that if you receive instructions from a professional client and the instructions are appropriate taking into account your experience, seniority and/or field of practice, you must (subject to the exceptions in rC30) accept those instructions irrespective of:
- The identity of the client;
- The nature of the case to which the instructions relate;
- Whether the client is paying privately or is publicly funded; and
- Any belief or opinion which you may have formed as to the character, reputation, cause, conduct, guilt or innocence of the client.
Without the cab-rank rule, an unpopular person might not get legal representation; barristers who acted for them might be criticised for doing so.
