(7) Without prejudice to the right of solicitor or counsel to give up a case for good reason, any solicitor or counsel may give up an aided person case if, in his opinion, the aided person has required the proceedings to be conducted unreasonably so as to incur an unjustifiable expense to the Director or has required unreasonably that the proceedings be continued.

(8) Where any solicitor or counsel exercises the right to give up an aided person's case-

(a) under the provisions of paragraph (7); or
(b) on the ground that the aided person has wilfully failed to provide the information to be furnished by him or in furnishing such information has knowingly made a false representation,
