Does a solicitor have a right to withdraw services?

In this regard Madam Justice Southin in Ladner Downs v. Crowley [1987] 5 WWR 332, (B.C.C.A.) considered the historical relationship between solicitor and client and the rules regarding the ability of a solicitor to withdraw services and concluded at 341 that by the end of the 19th century it was an established rule that where a solicitor has terminated the contract of retainer without cause, he could not recover any fee at all. The inverse of this proposition is that a Solicitor does have a right to withdraw services and to charge a fee for the services rendered, where the withdrawal is just and reasonable.
