148 Definitions

In this Part--

"disciplinary action" against a lawyer means any of the following actions taken under a law of this or another jurisdiction, whether or not taken under Chapter 5 of the Legal Profession Uniform Law (NSW) or under provisions of a corresponding law that correspond to that Chapter--

(a) the suspension or cancellation of the Australian practising certificate or Australian registration certificate of the lawyer (other than a suspension or cancellation at the request or with the concurrence of the holder of the certificate that is not connected with a disciplinary matter),
(b) the refusal to grant or renew an Australian practising certificate or Australian registration certificate applied for by the lawyer (other than a refusal on the ground that the lawyer is not eligible to apply for the grant or renewal),
(c) the removal of the name of the lawyer from a roll of Australian lawyers,
(d) the making of an order by a court or tribunal, or by another person or body, for or following a finding of unsatisfactory professional conduct or professional misconduct by the lawyer, other than an order cautioning the person,
(e) the reprimanding of the lawyer, or the making of a compensation order against the lawyer, by a person or body without a formal finding of unsatisfactory professional conduct or professional misconduct,
(f) the appointment of a manager or receiver for a law practice of which the lawyer is a legal practitioner associate, where the associate is specified or referred to in the notice of appointment served on the law practice.

"lawyer" , when used alone, has the same meaning as it has in Chapter 5 of the Legal Profession Uniform Law (NSW) (see section 261 of that Law).
