ATTORNEYS' AND SOLICITORS' ACT 1870 - SECT 14

As to change of solicitor after agreement.

14. If, after any such agreement as aforesaid shall have been made, the client
shall change his ... solicitor before the conclusion of the business to which
such agreement shall relate (which he shall be at liberty to do
notwithstanding such agreement), the ... solicitor, party to such agreement,
shall be deemed to have become incapable to act under the same within the
meaning of section thirteen of this Act, and upon any order being made for
taxation of the amount due to such ... solicitor in respect of the past
performance of such agreement, the court shall direct the taxing master to
have regard to the circumstance under which such change of ... solicitor had
taken place; and, upon such taxation, the ... solicitor shall not be deemed
entitled to the full amount of the remuneration agreed to be paid to him
unless it shall appear that there has been no default, negligence, improper
delay, or other conduct on his part affording reasonable ground to the client
for such change of ... solicitor.
