Re: rearding advocates act
The Act only prohibits making or promoting a business directly.
As far this forum is concerned its a social work and its not wrong to give your professional details in case of the people who can be prospective clients.
Re: rearding advocates act
The Advocates act only prohibits for soliciting business directly.It doesnot prohibit any social work as advocacy is a noble profession. Secondly it doesnot prohibit an advocate from giving name address and contact no to client or prospective client.The only thing an advocate is prohibited is asking people directly to give him business of litigation.
