174 Effect of non-disclosure of provision of certain services

(1) This section applies if:

(a) section 173 (Disclosure obligations) applies in relation to a service that is provided to a person who has engaged a multi-disciplinary partnership to provide the service and that the person might reasonably assume to be a legal service, and

(b) a disclosure has not been made under that section in relation to the service.

(2) The standard of care owed by the multi-disciplinary partnership in respect of the service is the standard that would be applicable if the service had been provided by an Australian legal practitioner.
