Legal Profession Act 2007

This section applies if a regulatory authority imposes a condition on a practising certificate, other than a condition applying in relation to a practising certificate under the authority’s legal profession rules or administration rules.

If the applicant did not apply for a practising certificate to be subject to the condition—

the regulatory authority must give the applicant an information notice about the decision to impose the condition; and

the applicant may apply, as provided under the QCAT Act, to the tribunal for a review of the decision to impose the condition.

The regulatory authority may revoke a condition imposed on a practising certificate, on application of the certificate holder in the approved form or on its own initiative, by giving written notice about the revocation to the certificate holder.

If a certificate holder applies for the revocation of a condition and the relevant regulatory authority refuses to grant the application—

the authority must give the applicant an information notice about the decision refusing the application; and

the applicant may, within 28 days after the information notice is given to the applicant, apply, as provided under the QCAT Act, to the tribunal for a review of the decision to impose the condition.
