What is the current state of the law on solicitor’s interim accounts?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Andrew Feldstein & Associates Professional Corporation v. Keramidopulos, 2007 CanLII 40202 (ON SC):
In addition, clients should not be forced to choose between harming the solicitor-client relationship and forgoing the right to have an interim account assessed. As was said by Sharpe J.A. in Price v. Sonsini (supra), an arrangement such as this forces the client into the invidious position of straining, if not rupturing, the solicitor-client relationship before the retainer has ended.
