8.INSTRUCTIONS

8.1 General

8.1.1 By accepting instructions, an Advocate undertakes a professional commitment on which the Courts and those instructing him are entitled to rely.

8.1.2 In considering the nature of that professional commitment, two basic distinctions must be borne in mind-

（a）the distinction between （i）delivery of instructions to an Advocate, and （ii）acceptance of instructions by an Advocate; and

（b）the distinction between （i）refusal to accept instructions and （ii）the return of instructions once accepted.
