| dc.description.abstract | A lawyer is a professional with skills and competences to represent a party in cases, without fear or favour in court or tribunal. Recently, the courts have awarded heavy cost to be personally paid by legal practitioners appearing in cases before them, in departure from previous practices and statutory provisions. The approach instigates the query on the propriety of such awards and whether this does not hamper the right of legal representation and the protection that a legal practitioner enjoys when acting for a party? The paper argues for a balance position to hold a legal practitioner to the honour of his calling, while enjoining the courts to award cost within the parameters of principles set in case law and statute; the paper also suggests measures for the protection of the legal practitioner in the discharge of his duty to represent his client. | en_US |
