In Kothi Jairam vs Vishwanath the Supreme Court has held that an agreement made by his client to pay his lawyer according to the result of the case is against public policy. The Supreme Court observes that it is professional misconduct for an advocate to stipulate for or agree with his client to accept as his fee or remuneration as share of the property sued or other matter in litigation upon the successful issue thereof. In England, a lawyer cannot sue for his fee. If a lawyer behaves negligently, he can be sued for his negligence, in India whereas in England, he cannot be sued.
