I thank the Minister for her clarification. It seems that if a barrister is employed by a company and satisfies all the duties the company requires him or her to discharge, then that barrister may face a levy because somebody else is dealing in an unsatisfactory way with his or her own clients. The general principle should be that those who give rise to the complaints should bear the costs rather than having them averaged over people about whom no complaints have been made.
