Legal Profession Act 2007

The Board may enter into arrangements (referred to in this Part as "protocols") with corresponding authorities for or with respect to investigating and dealing with conduct that appears to have occurred in more than one jurisdiction.

In particular, the protocols may make provision for or with respect to – providing principles to assist in determining where conduct occurs, either generally or in specified classes of cases; and giving and receiving consent for conduct occurring in a jurisdiction to be dealt with under a law of another jurisdiction; and the procedures to be adopted for requesting and conducting the investigation of any aspect of complaints under this Part.

A protocol does not have effect in this jurisdiction unless it is adopted in the regulations.
