Why can the Legal Counsellor/Claims Assessor/Senior Claims Assessor not come and appear in court to represent me?"
3 views
The current set up of the legal profession in South Africa does not permit Lawyers other than those in private practice (enrolled as a practising Attorney or Advocate) to appear in Court. We therefore, do not represent Members in court, but pay Practising Lawyers legal expenses in terms of the Membership Agreement to represent our Members in Court.
