Book Description
Excerpt from A Selection of Cases Affecting Solicitors: Including Those Reported to the End of Trinity Term 1896 [1] The Court refused to restrain a defendant's solicitor from acting for him, on the alleged ground that he had, in the character of solicitor for the defendant and others interested (jointly with the plaintiff) in a Chancery suit, in attendance upon a Master, obtained a knowledge of the plaintiff's case, and of the evidence upon which it was to be supported, the defendant's solicitor deposing that he had not thereby obtained any further knowledge of the plaintiff's case than would be disclosed by a particular of demand. Grissell v. Peto, 2 M. & Scott 2 (1832). [2] Where an attorney has been employed in a cause and is afterwards discharged by his client, not on the ground of misconduct, the Court will not restrain him from acting for the opposite party, unless it clearly and distinctly appears that he has obtained information in his former character which, if communicated to the other side, would be prejudicial to the cause of his former client. Johnson v. Marriott, 2 C. & M. 183 (1834). [3] The retainer of a solicitor need not be in writing; but if he neglects taking the precaution of having a written retainer, and his retainer being afterwards questioned, there is nothing but assertion against assertion; he must bear the costs of the risk he thus undertakes. Wiggins v. Peppin, 2 Beav. 403 (1837). [4] An attorney who was the ordinary attorney for a borrower also acted in the matter of a particular loan for the lender, but did not make any charge against the lender for his services. Held, that he was properly charged as an attorney acting on the retainer and employment of the lender, and was in that character liable to an action for damages for the loss suffered through the insufficiency of the security. Donaldson v. Haldane, 7 C. & F. 762 (1837). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Jurisdiction, Admissibility and Choice of Law in International Arbitration: Liber Amicorum Michael Pryles
Author: Neil KaplanPublisher: Kluwer Law International B.V.
ISBN: 9041186387
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 442
Book Description
The distinguished international lawyer Michael Pryles, who launched a meteoric career as an arbitrator after many years of teaching and writing on conflicts of law and other topics, has made a mark on arbitral law and practice that is recognized worldwide. In this book, over forty prominent arbitrators and arbitration scholars offer insightful essays on the thorny matters of jurisdiction, admissibility and choice of law in arbitration – topics which have long interested Professor Pryles and are of wide interest. Among the specific issues and topics examined are the following: • res judicata; • investment arbitration; • free trade agreements; • party autonomy; • application of provisional measures; • issue estoppel; • evidentiary inferences; • interim measures; • emergency and default proceedings; • the intersection of financing and jurisdiction; • consolidation of cases; and • non-contractual claims. Remarkable for its roster of highly distinguished contributors, this book is the only in-depth treatment of its subject. By turns thought-provoking and practical, it is bound to appeal to and be put to use by arbitrators and other lawyers who handle international cases. It will also prove of great value to global law firms and companies doing transnational business.
