180. An employed barrister is a barrister who is engaged to provide legal advice or services for his employer under a contract of employment. A barrister who is neither a practising barrister nor an employed barrister is a non-practising barrister. The provisions of this Code apply to employed and non-practising barristers except where they expressly or by necessary implication apply to practising barristers only.

181. An employed or non-practising barrister may not without the permission of the Bar Council act as a Judge's clerk or barrister's clerk, or in any capacity whereby directly or indirectly he supplies legal advice or services to the public or a section of the public save insofar as is permitted by the rules in force in the country where being resident he so acts.
This rule is not infringed by a barrister who is an employee of a firm or company and who supplies legal advice or services to his employer, provided that:
(a) he does not himself supply legal advice or services to the public or a section of the public, and
(b) the firm or company is not wholly or in part a device whereby the barrister himself (with or without others) is intended directly or indirectly to supply legal advice or services to the public or a section of the public.
Lecturing, teaching and the writing of articles in newspaper or journals shall not be considered the supply of legal advice or services to the public.

182. Neither an employed barrister nor a non-practising barrister may appear before a Court as Counsel unless he is employed by the Government and is empowered to do so by law.

183. Neither an employed barrister nor a non-practising barrister may instruct a practising barrister direct without the intervention of a solicitor, save that an employed barrister may do so if he is employed by the Government and is empowered to do so by law.
