The disclosures to the client must include what?

• A. The client's tax records
• B. The barrister's personal opinions
• C. The disclosures to the client required under Rule 24B, the client's written acknowledgement, and the barrister's certification
• D. A copy of the opponent's pleadings

Answer: (C)

Disclosures to the client must be properly documented and verifiable. The required disclosures are those specified in Rule 24B, and they must be accompanied by the client’s written acknowledgement that they have received and understood them, as well as the barrister’s certification that the disclosures have been given. This combination creates a clear, auditable record that the client was informed and consented to the terms of engagement, scope, and relevant obligations.

Tax records, the barrister’s personal opinions, or copies of the opponent’s pleadings are not part of the mandated client disclosures under Rule 24B, so they do not belong in the disclosures to the client.
