Why lawyers fees not regulated?

Only black sheeps in this profession is maligning the reputation.

Lot of measures are being taken like they will have to go thro' exams get the license. Also PM has talked about the comeplete overhaul of Law education system.

So, once good students will get into this profession, things will improve.

professional fee cannot be regulated by anyone. u need to pay for it. best is to settle it by mutual agreement outside court.

Or perhaps be ready to take up our own cases! This will be intellectually stimulating....wouldn't it be?

ms kaur perfect.

it is not a subject to regulate.

only you can burgain.

you have the right to change the lawyer at any time.

considering this point it is better not to go on one time payment, either pay him part by part or daily basis.

do not believe or depend much on your lawyer.

get his versions checked by other lawyers or at lci.

You may refer to the THE LEGAL PRACTITIONERS (FEES) ACT, 1926.ACT No. 21 OF 1926.[25th March, 1926.]

Totally agree with Mr. Arup

@ Naresh,

Good que. which Advocates of the forum may give if they like. I am replying to your other matters;


1. On your intelligent que. on professional fees "regulation" ?
My take: A professional's fees can't be regulated because there is a thin line between a layman and a professional if simply put argumentative way. A professional is called professional for nothing and a layman can't become a professional otherwise he would not be called a layman in technical way putting it. Hence the best way out before approaching a professional is to see once ability to 'spend" and bind a professional to a “contract” on "mutual discussion" of terms and conditions of "a spend" on seeking a professional's advise that is called self regulation especially dealing with professionals.


2. On your worries of "spending energy" ?
My take: In litigation a litigant must approach a Court for relief with a mind set that first he has to face mirror of a Advocate (resistance to young logics and new ideas to defend the interest thereof) and then a mirror held by the Judge (refer to my files section on Law interpreted by a Judge). If mirror mirror everywhere on the court complex walls then better to demolish that mirror by multiple platform gained self acquired knowledge and carry forward with some tweaking here and there is the best way out. A layman works on intuitions and that is the best defence to demolish the myth of two mirrors he is always going to face during litigation and it is just a mental block as per me. Come out of it and see a change around you.

3. On yoru que. of issue of "NOC" and demand for money !
My take: May be you misinterpreting a lawyers demand for money on simple question of NOC here? No lawyer can ask money for giving NOC, infact a litigant can kick a lawyer anytime out form his case provided the litigant has settled all pending fees dues clearly and that is the demand a lawyer can utmost ask from you (generic). The other way or clear way here is to submit an application to Court stating that you have relieved a particular Advocate from your case and needs time to arrange a fresh pleader and Court mentions such pleadings on daily Order sheet and will grant you (generic) time to arrange a new pleader, so what is the big ‘if’ and ‘buts’ here? Other than misinterpreting "demand" for money. Last way if you are so sure that for NOC a lawyer is demanding money then write to BCI / State Bar Council your grievances will be royally settled, however the mute gyan here is how many (generic) have courage to do just that afterall a Advocate is not your (generic) God !

Rgds.

PM has also been talking of price reduction and eradication of corruption. Our blood boils when we see 50000 crore Commonwealth Games scandal. But I marvel at the equanimity with which the PM keeps staring the speakers without flinching.

the dispute of advocate fees arising only in cities not in other parts of the country.
