LEGAL PROFESSION UNIFORM LAW (NSW) - SECT 35
Liability of principals
(1) If a law practice contravenes, whether by act or omission, any provision
of this Law or the Uniform Rules imposing an obligation on the law practice, a
principal of the law practice is taken to have contravened the same provision,
if-- (a) the principal knowingly authorised or permitted the contravention; or
(b) the principal was in, or ought reasonably to have been in, a position to
influence the conduct of the law practice in relation to its contravention of
the provision and failed to take reasonable steps to prevent the contravention
by the law practice.
(2) A contravention by a principal arising under
subsection (1) is capable of constituting unsatisfactory professional conduct
or professional misconduct by the principal.
(3) Neither subsection (1) nor
(2) affects any liability of the law practice or any other person for the
contravention.
Note: Section 470 deals with contraventions by partnerships
and other unincorporated bodies.
