103 Peremptory removal of local lawyer’s name from local roll following removal in another jurisdiction

(1) This section applies if the Brisbane registrar is satisfied that—

(a) a local lawyer’s name has been removed from an interstate roll; and

(b) no order under section 107 (1) (a) is, at the time of that removal, in force in relation to the lawyer’s name.

(2) The Brisbane registrar must remove, or arrange with another registrar for the removal of, the lawyer’s name from the local roll.

(3) The Brisbane registrar may, but need not, give the lawyer written notice of the date on which the registrar proposes to remove the name from the local roll.

(4) The Brisbane registrar must give the former local lawyer written notice of the removal of the name from the local roll, unless notice of the date of the proposed removal was previously given.

(5) The name of the former local lawyer is, on his or her application to the Brisbane registrar or on the registrar’s own initiative, to be restored to the local roll if the name is restored to the interstate roll.

(6) Nothing in this section prevents the former local lawyer from afterwards making an application for admission.
