Following on from yesterdays blog, if a Practitioner is acting for more than 1 client in respect of a matter and it becomes apparent that the Practitioner will no longer be able to discharge the obligations owed to all of the clients for whom the Practitioner acts, the Practitioner must immediately inform each of the clients of this fact and cease acting for all clients. But a Practitioner may continue to act for 1 client provided that any other client concerned, after receiving independent advice, gives informed consent to the Practitioner continuing to act for the client and no duties to any consenting client have been or will be breached. Stay posted
