LEGAL PROFESSION UNIFORM LAW (NSW) - SECT 428
Making of Uniform Rules
428 Making of Uniform Rules
(1) The Council may make a Uniform Rule as submitted to the Standing Committee
under section 425 or 427, and must make a Uniform Rule as submitted to the
Standing Committee under section 426, if-- (a) the Standing Committee approves
the Uniform Rule within 30 days of its submission to the Standing Committee;
or
(b) the 30-day period expires without the Uniform Rule being vetoed under
subsection (2) during that period.
(2) Subject to subsection (3), the
Standing Committee may veto the Uniform Rule within the 30-day period. If it
does so, the Council must not make the Uniform Rule as submitted to the
Standing Committee, but the Uniform Rule may be resubmitted to the Standing
Committee with amendments.
(3) The Standing Committee may veto a proposed
Admission Rule, Legal Practice Rule, Legal Profession Conduct Rule or
Continuing Professional Development Rule only where the Standing Committee
considers that the rule or a part of the rule would-- (a) impose restrictive
or anti-competitive practices that are not in the public interest; or
(b)
otherwise not be in the public interest because it conflicts with the
objectives of this Law; or
(c) impact on the public funding of the scheme for
the regulation of the legal profession.
(4) The Standing Committee must cause
a notice setting out the reasons for vetoing a rule to be published as soon as
practicable.
(5) Without limiting the powers of the Standing Committee with
respect to a Uniform Rule submitted to it, the Standing Committee may require
a draft of a proposed Uniform Rule to be released for further consideration or
further public consultation or both.
