On 31 January 2013, Standard Contractual Terms replaced the commonly used terms of engagement for barristers taking instructions from solicitors (the Terms of Work and the Withdrawal of Credit Scheme). Also on 31 January, the Bar Code of Conduct was amended so that the Cab Rank Rule applies to instructions offered on the basis of new Standard Contractual Terms or the barrister’s own published terms of engagement. This means, instead of the Cab Rank Rule applying to the present Terms of Work, it applies to these new Contractual Terms or the barrister’s own published terms.
