Legal Profession Admission Rules 2007

(1) An application under these Rules for admission to the legal profession or for a declaration under section 31 of the Act, must disclose if the applicant has been convicted of an offence, other than an excluded offence.

Note for subrule (1)

A conviction does not include a situation in which a person is issued with an infringement notice and the person has expiated the offence by payment of the penalty shown on the notice.

(a) applies to a conviction even if other persons are prohibited from disclosing the identity of the offender; and

(b) extends to an offence committed before the commencement of these Rules.
