<h1>Rule 356: Resolving Advocate-Client Fee Disputes with Taxation Procedures and Written Agreements</h1> Rule 356 of the Company Court Rules, 1959, addresses disputes over fees and charges between an advocate and their client. Either party can request a Judge in Chambers to order taxation of the bill, which the Taxing Officer will then handle. If the client consents in writing, the advocate can present the bill without a judge's order. The client must be summoned at least 14 days before taxation. Rules for party-to-party taxation apply unless otherwise agreed. Agreements for higher fees must be written, signed, and filed. Unfair agreements can be referred to a judge. This rule excludes taxation involving the Official Liquidator.
