Is it ethical ( or even legal)for a solicitor?

to represent a client that he is aware is deliberately misleading a court (note: this is a UK law question)

Lori	In the US, it is unethical (and likely illegal) for an attorney to knowingly perpetrate a fraud on the court. If a witness takes the stand and tells what his attorney knows to be a lie, the attorney must expose the lie. However, if the client makes a statement that could be interpreted two different ways (even though one interpretation is much more likely), the attorney does not have to correct the false assumption. For example, if the client testifies, "It was not raining that day," the assumption may be that it was sunny. However, if it was actually snowing, the attorney does not have to correct the assumption.
