Insurance requirements
19 Insurance requirements
Where a scheme under section 52 is in force requiring legal practitioners to be insured against liabilities that may arise in the course of, or in relation to, legal practice—
the Supreme Court cannot issue or renew a practising certificate unless the applicant produces evidence to the satisfaction of the Court that the applicant has obtained the insurance against such liabilities required by the scheme for the term for which the certificate is to be issued or renewed;
and
if, at any time during the term of a practising certificate so issued or renewed, the holder of the certificate ceases to be insured against such liabilities as required by the scheme, the practising certificate will be taken to be suspended until the holder of the certificate obtains such insurance.
This section does not apply in relation to a legal practitioner of a class excluded by regulation from the provisions of this section.
