Suitability for admission
31 Suitability for admission
A person is suitable for admission to the legal profession under this Act only if the person is a fit and proper person to be admitted.
In deciding if the person is a fit and proper person to be admitted, the Supreme Court must consider—
each of the suitability matters in relation to the person to the extent a suitability matter is appropriate; and
other matters that the Supreme Court considers relevant.
However, the Supreme Court may consider a person to be a fit and proper person to be admitted to the legal profession under this Act despite a suitability matter because of the circumstances relating to the matter.
