Yes - you can recovered such Fees from Defaulter.

 

Once it has been prove in the Court then you can easily recover such amt.

 

Generally all are putting such clause in the Notice forwarded to Defaulter but while negotiating all are concerns to recovered the principle amt.  

 

Accounting Entry :-

 

01. Prof Fees. A/c Dr.

              To Mr. ABC Advocate

 

02. Defaulter A/c Dr

             To Prof. Fees

 

03. When Amt. recovered: - ( Adv. Fees from Defaulter )

 

     Bank A/c Dr.

     ABC Adv. A/c Dr.

             To Defaulter A/c
