A barrister must not confer with, or condone another legal practitioner conferring with, more than one lay witness including a party or client at the same time:
> (a) about any issue which there are reasonable grounds for the barrister to believe may be contentious at a hearing, and
> (b) where such conferral could affect evidence to be given by any of those witnesses,
unless the barrister believes on reasonable grounds that special circumstances require such a conference.
