Rule 9 prohibits advocates from handling cases where they have a personal financial interest — this is a conflict of interest safeguard. Option A incorrectly states the opposite, making it the incorrect statement.

  1. 1 Pick up BCI Rules.
  2. 2 Go to Part VI, Chapter II — Standards of Professional Conduct.
  3. 3 Read Rule 9: 'An advocate shall NOT act or plead in any matter in which he is himself pecuniarily interested.'
  4. 4 Option A says an advocate CAN plead in such matters — this contradicts Rule 9 → INCORRECT.
The text reads: Rule 9 BCI Rules: An advocate shall not act or plead in any matter in which he himself is pecuniarily interested.
