This legislation has been repealed.
(1) In any proceedings before a Committee, the applicant or physiotherapist concerned and the complainant (if any) are entitled to attend and be accompanied by a legal practitioner or other adviser, but are not entitled to be represented at the proceedings by the legal practitioner or other adviser.
(2) In any proceedings concerning an investigation as to whether a physiotherapist may be guilty of misconduct in a professional respect, a Committee may (despite subclause (1)) grant leave for a person to be represented by a legal practitioner at the proceedings if the Committee is satisfied that, having regard to the subject matter of the investigation, the proceedings may result in suspension of the physiotherapist's registration or removal of the physiotherapist's name from the register.
(3) A Committee may grant leave for any other person (who is not a legal practitioner or other adviser representing any person) to appear at any proceedings if the Committee is satisfied that it is appropriate for that person to appear.
