734 Client agreements may be entered into despite pt 3.4
(1) Despite part 3.4 and the repeal of the Queensland Law Society Act 1952 , a
law practice to which the part applies may—
(a) make a client agreement as
if the Queensland Law Society Act 1952 , section 48 , had not been repealed;
and
(b) perform urgent work that could have been performed, under repealed
section 48, even though there is no client agreement or costs agreement for
the work.
(2) Subsection (1) applies to the law practice even though a
reference to a law firm in the repealed Queensland Law Society Act 1952 would
not have included the law practice.
(3) However, on and after the relevant
day, the law practice can not rely on subsection (1) for not complying with
part 3.4 in relation to a matter to which that part applies after the relevant
day.
