Vakalatnama sans agreed fee.

Advocacy is supposed to be a noble profession but it does have black sheeps always ready to exploit client/s.

Vakalatnama is required to mention fee agreed to be charged by a lawyer but it's always left blank and even court/judge don't object to it.

In such senario what happens in the event of misconduct if client mention the agreed terms in the e mail to such lawyers to protect him self from exploitation. Generally lawyers don't acknowledge such mails.

Why Bar Council don't act in the matter? TIA

There is no provisdion in law to mention the lawyer fee in the vakalatname to conduct the case.

Is it your imaginary concept?

If you are so conscious about the lawyer's fee, then you can always get the quote of his fee as applicable to different phase of the case,  in writing.

Nothing stops you from asking about it to the lawyer.

If the lawyer refuses to give the details of the applicable fee at differnt stages of the case or for each and every sitting, then you are at your liberty to choose any other lawyer who suits your convenience.

There is no doubt about the lawyer profession being called a noble profession and it is fact that most of the lawyers consider this fact and are sticking to the nobility.

Therefore you discuss the problems of your concern alone
