Regina v Boswell: CACD 1987

The Court relied on the rule that counsel was entitled, in certain narrowly prescribed circumstances, counsel to brief another counsel to appear on his or own behalf in respect of a costs dispute, to permit counsel in those circumstances to claim costs where that counsel had appeared for himself. It is clear from the statement of reasons by Leggatt J that His Lordship considered that that rule was a necessary added factor which would entitle counsel in that case to avail himself of the statement of the rule in Chorley’s case.
