LEGAL PROFESSION REGULATION 2002 - REG 11

11 Publication of information

(1) The appropriate Council may publish, in circumstances which it considers appropriate, all or any of the following information:

(a) the name of any legal practitioner on the register,

(b) the name of the practitioner’s firm (including a firm that is a partnership or an incorporated legal practice) or employer, the address at which the practitioner, or the firm or employer of the practitioner, practises or provides legal services,

(c) the telephone number and facsimile number of the practitioner at the office or offices at which the practitioner practises or provides legal services,

(d) the number of an exchange box in a document exchange (DX) of Australian Document Exchange Pty. Limited that is used by the practitioner,

(e) any other relevant contact information for the legal practitioner at the office or offices at which the practitioner practises or provides legal services.

(2) A legal practitioner may, by notice in writing to the appropriate Council, request the Council not to publish any information about the legal practitioner that is on the register if special circumstances warrant the information not being published (for example, if the safety or well-being of a person would be affected by publishing the information).

(3) If the appropriate Council is satisfied that those special circumstances exist, the Council is not to publish the information concerned unless the appropriate Council considers that the public interest in maintaining public access to the information outweighs any individual interest in the information not being published.

(4) The appropriate Council is not to publish information supplied under clause 7 (1) (g) or (h), 133 or 134, except as authorised under Division 9A of Part 10 of the Act.

Note: Division 9A of Part 10 of the Act authorises the publication of disciplinary action taken against legal practitioners.
