LEGAL PROFESSION UNIFORM LAW (NSW) - SECT 297
Professional misconduct
(1) For the purposes of this Law,
"professional misconduct" includes-- (a) unsatisfactory professional conduct
of a lawyer, where the conduct involves a substantial or consistent failure to
reach or maintain a reasonable standard of competence and diligence; and
(b)
conduct of a lawyer whether occurring in connection with the practice of law
or occurring otherwise than in connection with the practice of law that would,
if established, justify a finding that the lawyer is not a fit and proper
person to engage in legal practice.
(2) For the purpose of deciding whether a
lawyer is or is not a fit and proper person to engage in legal practice as
referred to in subsection (1)(b), regard may be had to the matters that would
be considered if the lawyer were an applicant for admission to the Australian
legal profession or for the grant or renewal of an Australian practising
certificate and any other relevant matters.
