Very simply. This brings us back tononemus mutare, or we will not be changed. That is the special plea from the Bar, saying "do nothing, change nothing, do not allow members of the barristers profession to operate as partners, do not allow them to open chambers, do not allow them to share fees, do not allow for any change of any description because this is our motto: nonemus mutare". It is a special plea from the Bar to remove the provisions already in the Bill that seek to stop the continuation of the restrictive practices which are currently incorporated within the Bar's code of practice.
