Himalayan Co-Operative Group Housing ... vs Balwan Singh . on 29 April, 2015

44. By placing reliance on the judgment reported at (2015) 7 SCC 373 [Himalayan Coop. Group Housing Society vs. Balwan Singh and others], it is argued that the lawyer's authority to make concession/admission/statement/compromise/settlement on behalf of his client before the court was not binding on the client. Although lawyers are perceived to be agents of their clients, the law of agency does not apply strictly to client and lawyer relationship, since the lawyers also stand in a fiduciary relationship to their clients, their duties are more demanding than those of other agents and lawyers are required to respect the client's autonomy to make decision in his matter. Though lawyers, it was held, could decide about tactics/means to be adopted while dealing with the cases without consulting with their clients, appropriate instructions from the client or his authorized agents should be sought before making any 18 concession/statement/admission/settlement/compromise before the court which may, directly or remotely, affect the rightful legal right of the client.
