It is now illegal in Belgium for lawyers to accept cash payments, according to a lawyer. Thus, no due process for unbanked people? Do other member states have this rule?

How are unbanked people and those with cashless bank accounts expected to pay lawyers if the money they have for the lawyer is in cash?

Why are lawyers of all people not trusted with cash? Can’t lawyers be disbarred if they do something dodgy?
