External administration proceedings under other legislation
136 External administration proceedings under other legislation
This section applies to a proceeding for the external administration, however expressed, of an incorporated legal practice but does not apply to a proceeding to which section 135 applies.
Each ILP authority is entitled to intervene in the proceeding, unless the court decides that the proceeding does not concern or affect the provision of legal services by the incorporated legal practice.
The court may, when exercising its jurisdiction in the proceeding, have regard to the interests of the clients of the incorporated legal practice who have been or are to be provided with legal services by the practice.
Subsection (3) does not authorise the court to make any decision that is contrary to a specific provision of any legislation applicable to the incorporated legal practice.
