Can a barrister be sued?

In: Law & Legal Issues, Lawyers [Edit categories]

Answer:

Yes but not because of a decision they made based on their job. They can be sued for something they did outside of their line of work although it will be an uphill battle to win though because they are usually well known by the other barristers.

If you disagree with a barristers decision, you will want to follow an appeals process instead.
