Whether a Barrister of law, Advocate and/or Physicians and Surgeons can sue for his/her professional fee ?
Answer & Explanation:
In England, barristers-at law are prohibited by the etiquette of their profession from suing for their fees. So also are the Fellow and Members of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons. But they can sue and be sued for all claims other than their professional fees. In India, there is no such disability and a barrister, who is in the position of an advocate with liberty both to act and plead, has a right to contract and to sue for his fees (Nihal Chand v. Dilawar Khan, 1933 All. L. R. 417).
