LEGAL PROFESSION ACT 2007 - SECT 332

Referral for disciplinary action

(1)  If, on a costs assessment, a costs assessor considers that the legal costs charged by a law practice are grossly excessive, the costs assessor must refer the matter to the Board to consider whether disciplinary action should be taken against any Australian legal practitioner or Australian-registered foreign lawyer involved.
(2)  If the costs assessor considers that a costs assessment raises any other matter that may be capable of constituting unsatisfactory professional conduct or professional misconduct on the part of an Australian legal practitioner or Australian-registered foreign lawyer, the costs assessor may refer the matter to the Board to consider whether disciplinary action should be taken against the Australian legal practitioner or Australian-registered foreign lawyer.
