Legal Profession Act 2006

(1) This Part does not authorise an interstate legal practitioner to engage in legal practice in this jurisdiction to a greater extent than a local legal practitioner could be authorised under a local practising certificate.

(2) Also, an interstate legal practitioner's right to engage in legal practice in this jurisdiction:

(i) any conditions imposed by the Law Society under section 81; and

(ii) any conditions imposed by or under the legal profession rules as referred to in that section; and

(b) is, to the greatest practicable extent and with all necessary changes:

(i) the same as the practitioner's right to engage in legal practice in the practitioner's home jurisdiction; and

(ii) subject to any condition on the practitioner's right to engage in legal practice in that jurisdiction, including any conditions imposed on the practitioner's admission to the legal profession in this or another jurisdiction.

(3) If there is an inconsistency between conditions mentioned in subsection (2)(a) and conditions mentioned in subsection (2)(b), the conditions that are, in the opinion of the Society, more onerous prevail to the extent of the inconsistency.

(4) An interstate lawyer must not engage in legal practice in this jurisdiction in a manner not authorised by this Act or in contravention of any condition referred to in this section.
