Conditions imposed by law society
203 Conditions imposed by law society
The law society may impose conditions on a person’s registration as a foreign lawyer—
when it is granted or renewed; or
at any time during its currency.
A condition imposed under this section—
may be about any matter in relation to which a condition could be imposed on a local practising certificate or any other matter agreed to by the foreign lawyer; and
must be reasonable and relevant.
The law society must not impose a condition under subsection (2)(a) that is more onerous than a condition that it would impose on a local practising certificate of a local legal practitioner in the same or similar circumstances.
The law society may vary or revoke a condition imposed by it under this section.
