(1) The bar council and the law society council may jointly make rules ( joint rules ) for or in relation to any matter about which they may separately make rules.
Note Rules must be notified, and presented to the Legislative Assembly, under the Legislation Act
.
(2) A joint rule may, but need not, apply in the same way to both barristers and solicitors.
(3) Joint rules prevail, to the extent of any inconsistency, over legal profession rules made separately by the bar council or law society council (whether made before or after the joint rules).
