Rule Amendment
Please note that, effective June 25, 2009, Rule 5-57 (Interest on Unpaid Fees) of the Rule of the Law Society of Manitoba has been repealed. Members will now be governed by amended Law Society Rule 5-54 when calculating interest on unpaid fees, charges or disbursements, which is as follows:
Fees, disbursements and interest
Rule 5-54 A member must not charge or accept a fee or disbursement, including interest, unless it is fair and reasonable and has been disclosed in a timely fashion.
as well as Chapter 11 of the Code of Professional Conduct (Fees) which has also been amended to be consistent with this new rule. Members are directed to Commentary 1 which outlines the factors to be considered when determining whether any interest charged is fair and reasonable and has been disclosed in a timely fashion.
