1824. Feby. 25 Aug. 1
Constitutional Code.Ch. XXIV Professional Lawyers Law Practitioners
§.

Art. 4. Art. 3. In an estimate formed, of the quantum
of remuneration, adequate, on the occasion in question, to the service performed by a
professional lawyer Law practitioner, the quantity of time thereon expended
can not pass unheeded. But so far as regards time employed elsewhere than in the judicatory unless checked by the vigilance
of the Judge, not only may time not employed in the service
of the client be charged as so employed, but, for the sake
of the remuneration needless addition may be made
to the quantity actually so employed. By want of
appropriate intellectual aptitude, a client may be stand debarred from having
cognizance of the excess; or, by want of fortitude
or energy, from resisting the demands. Without waiting
for any application at the hands on the part of the Client, the Judge
will if it can be done therefore, if it be needful and without preponderant evil in
the shape of delay vexation and expence, practicable of his
own motion, convene the client to the Judicatory if
he sees cause, for the purpose of ascertaining from the examination and, by examining him, endeavour to ascertain
of the client whether the expenditure of time time charged as expended as
charged in the service of the Client in relation to the suit was or was not made bestowed so expended, and if bestowed expended whether
it were the expenditure was or was not needful.

Art. 5 Art. 4. As in regard relation to time, so in regard relation to
epistolary intercourse communications and journeys.

Art. 6. For the more effectual and timely prevention
of all such excess, one object of the Judge's care will be,
at the earliest stage of the suit, to ascertain, in concert
with the parties and their lawyers, to ascertain what – may be the cheapest
as well as expeditious course for bringing it to a just conclusion.
