Equal Opportunity In Chambers
Distribution of work to all members of Chambers and pupils must be carried out in a manner that is fair to all and without discrimination. Selection of counsel shall be on the basis of the skills and experience required for the particular case. In particular, no pupil or tenant shall suffer discrimination:
in the arrangements which are made for the purpose of determining to whom it should be offered,
in respect of any terms on which it is offered, or by a refusal, or deliberate omission, to offer it to him/her.
Furthermore, no pupil or tenant shall suffer discrimination:
in respect of any terms applicable to him/her as a pupil or tenant,
in the opportunities for training, or gaining experience, which are afforded or denied to him/her,
in the benefits, facilities or services which are afforded or denied to him/her,
in the volume or type of work which is offered or denied to him/her,
by subjecting him/her to any pressure to leave the Chambers.
