Western Australian Consolidated Acts Western Australian Consolidated Acts (1) This Part does not
authorise an interstate legal practitioner to engage in legal practice in this
jurisdiction to a greater extent than a local legal practitioner could be
authorised under a local practising certificate.
(2) Also, an
interstate legal practitioner’s right to engage in legal practice in
this jurisdiction —
(i)
any conditions imposed by the Board under section 70
in relation to the interstate legal practitioner; and
(ii)
any conditions imposed under the legal profession rules
as referred to in that section;
and
(b) is,
to the greatest practicable extent and with all necessary changes —
(i)
the same as the practitioner’s right to engage in
legal practice in the practitioner’s home jurisdiction; and
(ii)
subject to any condition on the practitioner’s
right to engage in legal practice in that jurisdiction, including any
conditions imposed on the practitioner’s admission to the legal
profession in this or another jurisdiction.
(3) If there is an
inconsistency between conditions mentioned in subsection (2)(a) and
conditions mentioned in subsection (2)(b), the conditions that are, in
the opinion of the Board, more onerous prevail to the extent of the
inconsistency.
(4) An interstate
legal practitioner must not engage in legal practice in this jurisdiction in a
way that is not authorised under this Act or in contravention of any condition
referred to in this section.
