| dc.description.abstract | he formalization of instructions is the reducing agreement stipulating that the named client has issued the
advocate with instructions in a given matter and the forms of remuneration agreed upon by the client and the
advocate in the agreement. Sometimes it is referred to as a letter of engagement. Regulation 2(1) of the Advocates
(professional conduct) Regulations bars an Advocate from acting for any person unless he/she has received
instructions from the said person. In the case of Okodoi George & Anor v. Okello Opaire, HMCA NO. 0143
of 2016, court held that the onus is on the Advocate to take steps to make it known to all. The SC in Kabale

INTERVENTION AS COUNSEL IN AN EXISTING SUIT.
Regulation 2(1) of the advocates (professional conduct) regulations provides that no advocate shall act for any
person unless he or she has received instruction from that person or his or her duty authorized agent.
Justice Kawesa in the case of Okodoi George and anor v okello opaire sam, hct-04-cv-ma-0143 of 2016
held that the practical meaning of the aforementioned provision is that the onus is on the advocate so instructed
to take steps to make it known to all concerned that he/she has been duty instructed. The prudent advocate, in
practice takes out a notice of instruction informing the court and the opposite counsel of such instructions. The
court further held that where, there is a change in instructions, again the prudent advocate files a “notice of change
of advocates.” all this is aimed at avoiding a scenario where the advocates instructions end up being challenged.
