Australian Capital Territory Current Acts Australian Capital Territory Current Acts(1) This part does not authorise an interstate legal practitioner to engage in legal practice in the ACT 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 the ACT—
(a) is subject to any conditions imposed by the relevant council under section 74; 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 the ACT 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 relevant council's opinion, more onerous prevail to the extent of the inconsistency.
(4) An interstate lawyer must not engage in legal practice in the ACT in a way not authorised by this Act or in contravention of any condition mentioned in this section.
