SUPREME COURT RULES 1987 - REG 95.01

Full Court to exercise jurisdiction of Court in certain matters relating to lawyers

    (1)     The Full Court will, as a general rule, exercise the jurisdiction of the Court to hear and determine a proceeding of any of the following kinds:

        (a)     a proceeding in the inherent jurisdiction of the Court relating to the discipline of a lawyer;

        (b)     an appeal against a decision of the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal;

        (c)     a contested application under the Legal Profession Act 2006 for removal of a lawyer's name from the local roll following foreign regulatory action;

        (d)     an application for admission as a local lawyer under the Legal Profession Act 2006 .

    (2)     However:

        (a)     if it is not convenient for the Full Court to deal with an application for the admission of a local lawyer, the application will be heard and determined by a single Judge; and

        (b)     the Court may, despite the general rule, order that a particular matter be heard and determined by the single Judge.

    (3)     An order under subrule (2)(b) may be made by:

        (a)     the Full Court; or

        (b)     a single Judge in interlocutory proceedings.
