Under Rule 14 of Part VI, Chapter II of the Bar Council of India Rules, when must an advocate make full and frank disclosure to his client about his connection with the parties and any interest in the controversy?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Rule 14 requires disclosure "at the commencement of his engagement and during the continuance thereof" of connections and interests likely to affect the client's judgement. The duty is continuing and does not wait for a request. The disclosure covers connections with the parties and interests in the dispute, not just links with opposing counsel.
