Does it come under "sundries"?

Most people have a mistrust of lawyers, particularly when it comes to how much they charge and for what.  But how about this - it's an American story but I imagine it could just as well have happened over here.  A lawyer is representing a woman in divorce proceedings - they start having an affair.  So far, so bad, and would amount to professional misconduct both over there and over here.  But the real kicker is that he then went on to charge her at his usual hourly rate for the time they spent having sex!  So as somebody succinctly put it - she got screwed twice!!
