A few months ago, a colleague approached me in court to plead with me to allow him to call his matter out of turn. "My case is not going on," he said. I had no objection to his proposal. Such a request and concession isn't unusual at the bar.
He went around to a few other colleagues, too. I did not hear what he told each, but I suspect that he told them what he told me, too. Probably, he spoke to some, even before me.
When the court sat, he stood up to mention that he had a peculiar situation that required him to call his case out of turn and that he had already sought the permission of colleagues and seniors. None of us said anything to the contrary. His lordship asked him to proceed. When he opened his mouth, he said:
"My lord, we have our witness in court and subject to your lordship's convenience, we are ready to proceed".
Immediately, almost all the lawyers he spoke to started exchanging gazes of disbelief. We were in this state when the other counsel confirmed his readiness, too, and the witness marched into the box.
Interestingly, none of us said anything to the court. The gentleman lawyer concluded his business for the day and left the court.
I have heard about lawyers who agree with adverse counsel on a point prior to trial and then canvass the opposite or deny such agreement before the court. He was my first direct encounter.
I hold my reason for choosing not to challenge him before the court. What I still find curious to date was that none of the 4 other colleagues he approached also said anything.
I'd be very shocked if what informed my silence informed the silence of any of them, too.
