89A Court may order interim suspension of legal practitioner or impose interim conditions
If—
disciplinary proceedings have been instituted against a legal practitioner before the Tribunal or the Supreme Court or a legal practitioner has been charged with or convicted of a criminal offence; and
the Supreme Court is satisfied that the circumstances are such as to justify invoking the provisions of this section, the Supreme Court may, on its own initiative or on the application of the
Commissioner, the Attorney-General or the Society, make an interim order—
imposing conditions on the legal practitioner's practising certificate (whether a practising certificate under this Act or an interstate practising certificate) relating to the practitioner's legal practice;
or
suspending the legal practitioner's practising certificate (whether a practising certificate under this Act or an interstate practising certificate), until disciplinary proceedings against the practitioner have been finalised or until further order.
