Ontario Barrister and Solicitor Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

How can a lawyer limit liability when not completing certain searches upon the request of a client?

By obtaining verbal confirmation from the client only

By performing the searches anyway without informing the client

By explaining the risks, confirming in writing, and obtaining a signed direction

A By obtaining verbal confirmation from the client only - This option may not be sufficient to limit liability as it may not provide evidence of the client's understanding and consent.

B: By performing the searches anyway without informing the client - This option could potentially expose the lawyer to even more liability as they proceeded without informing the client of the risks.

D: By documenting the refusal in an internal memo only - This option also may not be sufficient to limit liability as it does not ensure that the client was made aware of the risks involved.
