LEGAL PROFESSION REGULATIONS 2018 - REG 19
Register of locally registered foreign lawyers
(1) For the purposes of section 211(2)(b) of the Act, the particulars
referred to in subregulation (2) are prescribed as particulars to be
included in the register kept under section 211 of the Act in relation to a
locally registered foreign lawyer, except where the Board is required by
subregulation (5) not to include them in the register.
(2) The particulars to be included in the register are as follows:
(a) the name of the foreign lawyer;
(b) the date on which registration as a foreign lawyer was granted or renewed;
(c) the name of the partnership of which the lawyer is a member or employee
or, if the lawyer is not a member or employee of a partnership, the name of
the entity of which the lawyer is a director, officer or employee or with
which the lawyer is otherwise engaged in legal practice;
(d) the contact details of each office of the partnership or other entity in
this jurisdiction;
(e) details of the foreign registration authority or authorities by which the
lawyer is registered to engage in legal practice in a foreign country or
foreign countries;
(f) any other particulars about the lawyer, partnership or other entity that
the authority considers should be included.
(3) Contact details of an office are the following:
(a) its street address (the address where the office is physically located);
(b) its postal address (a post office box number and the location and postcode
of the post office), if any;
(c) its DX address (the number of the exchange box in a document exchange
(DX)), if any.
(4) A locally registered foreign lawyer may, by notice in writing to the
Board, request the authority not to include any or any specified particulars
about the lawyer, partnership or other entity in the register, on the ground
that special circumstances warrant the particulars not being publicly
available (for example, if the safety or wellbeing of a person would be
substantially affected by making the particulars publicly available).
(5) If the Board is satisfied that those special circumstances exist,
the Board is required not to include the particulars concerned in the register
unless the Board considers that the public interest in maintaining public
access to the particulars outweighs any individual interest in the particulars
not being publicly available.
