identify the law practice and the manager; and

indicate that the external intervention is by way of appointment of a manager; and

state the term of the appointment; and

state any conditions imposed by the law society when the appointment is made; and

state the fees payable by way of remuneration to the manager for carrying out his or her duties for the external intervention; and

provide for the legal costs and expenses that may be incurred by the manager for the external intervention; and

include any other information required under a regulation to be included in the instrument of appointment.

The instrument of appointment may state any reporting requirements to be observed by the manager.
