7 Incorporation and powers of Society
The society formerly known as the "Law Society of South Australia
Incorporated" continues in existence as a body corporate under the name The
Law Society of South Australia.
The Society—
has perpetual succession and a common seal; and
is capable of suing and being sued.
Where an apparently genuine document purports to bear the common seal of the Society, it will be presumed in any legal proceedings, in the absence of proof to the contrary, that the common seal of the Society was duly affixed to that document.
The Society has the powers of a natural person.
The membership of the Society consists of all persons who have been admitted to membership of the Society, and who, for the time being, continue to be members of the Society, in accordance with the rules of the
Society.
