I don't think it's quite that simple, although I appreciate that you may
have simplified things to aid understanding. Solicitors can go to court,
but only in lower courts, and in the high court you can only use a
barrister, but you can only approach a barrister through a solicitor, who
'instructs' the case, usually doing a lot of the preparation.
It is now also possible for the same person to be both a solicitor and a
barrister, although they can't act as both at once, i.e. they could appear
for you as a solicitor in a lower court, but they couldn't instruct
themself in the high court, so you would still need two people there.
Maybe the first explanation is a lot easier to understand, but the details
matter. I am neither a barrister nor a solicitor, BTW, and may not have it
quite straight myself!
