Legal Profession Act 2007

This part applies to a default of a law practice arising from or constituted by an act or omission of 1 or more associates of the practice, if this jurisdiction is the relevant jurisdiction for the only associate or 1 or more of the associates involved.

Each of the following is immaterial—

the jurisdiction where the default happened;

that the act or omission giving rise to or constituting a default does not constitute a crime or other offence under the law of this jurisdiction, the Commonwealth or another jurisdiction;

that a proceeding has not been started, or if started has not ended, in relation to a crime or other offence of that kind.
