Section 15

When a suit is brought to enforce any such agreement, if the agreement is not proved to be fair and reasonable, the court may reduce the amount payable thereunder, or order it to be cancelled and the costs, fees, charges and disbursement, in respect of the business done, to be ascertained in the same manner as if no such agreement had been made.

Such an agreement shall exclude any further claim of the advocate, beyond the terms of the agreement, with respect to any services, fees, charges or disbursements in relation to the conduct and completion of the business in respect of which the agreement is made, except such services, fees, charges or disbursements, if any, as are expressly excepted by the agreement.

A provision in any such agreement that the advocate shall not be liable for negligence, or that he shall be relieved from any responsibility to which he would otherwise be subject as such advocate, shall be wholly void.
