Applicant for local registration—show cause event
31 Applicant for local registration—show cause event
This clause applies if—
a person is applying for registration as a foreign lawyer under this
Act; and
a show cause event in relation to the person happened, whether before or after the commencement of this clause, after the person first became an overseas-registered foreign lawyer.
As
part of the application, the person must provide to the Society a written statement, in accordance with the regulations—
about the show cause event; and
explaining why, despite the show cause event, the applicant considers themselves to be a fit and proper person to be a locally registered foreign lawyer.
However, the person need not provide a statement under subclause (2) if the person has previously provided to the Society a statement under this clause, or a notice and statement under clause 32, explaining why, despite the show cause event, the person considers themselves to be a fit and proper person to be a locally registered foreign lawyer.
