552 Compliance with orders made under corresponding laws
Persons and bodies having relevant powers or functions under this Act must:
give effect to or enforce any recommendation or order of a corresponding disciplinary body or other corresponding authority made under a corresponding law in relation to powers exercisable under this Act; and
give effect to or enforce any recommendation or order of a corresponding disciplinary body or other corresponding authority made under a corresponding law so far as the recommendation or order relates to the practice of law by the Australian legal practitioner concerned in this jurisdiction.
If a corresponding disciplinary body makes a recommendation or order that a person's name be removed from the roll of lawyers under this Act, the Supreme Court must order the removal of the name from the roll.
If a corresponding disciplinary body makes an order that an
Australian legal practitioner pay a fine:
a copy of the order may be filed in a court of competent jurisdiction; and
on being filed, the order may be enforced as if it were an order of the court.
