Canon 1144

1. For the removal of a procurator or advocate to take effect,

it is necessary that they be informed and that the judge and the

opposing party be notified of the removal if the joinder of issues (litis contestatio) has already taken place. 2. After a

definitive sentence has been issued, the procurator retains the

right and obligation to appeal unless the mandating party has

renounced this.
