New South Wales Repealed ActsThis legislation has been repealed.
(1) The Admission Board may refer to the Supreme Court any application for admission as a legal practitioner if, in the opinion of the Admission Board, it would be more practical in the circumstances of the case for the Supreme Court to consider whether or not the candidate is of good fame and character or is otherwise suitable for admission.
(2) The Supreme Court has the same powers as the Admission Board to deal with an application and its decision on an application is taken to be a decision of the Admission Board.
(3) On a referral under this section, the Supreme Court may make such order or declaration as it thinks fit.
(4) Nothing in this section affects the operation of section 17.
