The Bar Council’s Guidelines are advisory only, not made under s80(12) LPA nor gazetted, therefore they have no force of law and cannot bind or impose a statutory 21‑day limit; certiorari relief was dismissed for wrong mode of commencement, but the Bar Council is ordered to consider plaintiff’s compensation claim on its merits.

Application dismissed because the applicant sued the wrong decision‑maker, Form 14A was not void ab initio so s.57(f)(i) did not apply, and the claim was barred by proviso (a) as time‑barred and by proviso (b) because the instrument had been used/offered in prior legal proceedings; therefore no refund was due.
