New Zealand Legislation: Acts
Acts are laws made by Parliament
(1) A donee acting under a power of attorney shall, out of the funds of the donor available to him, pay all practising fees, all contributions and levies to the Solicitors' Fidelity Guarantee Fund, and all other amounts for which the donor would have been liable under this Act if he had continued to practise as a solicitor.
(2) While the donor is alive, the donee of the power of attorney shall apply for and obtain in each year the practising certificate of the solicitor to whose practice the power of attorney relates.
(3) The Secretary of the District Law Society of which the solicitor to whose practice the power of attorney relates is a member is hereby empowered, subject to this Act, to issue such a certificate with the approval of the Council of the Society.
(4) No practising certificate shall be issued in respect of a solicitor who has died; but while the practising fees, contributions, levies, and amounts for which he would have been liable are being paid in respect of a solicitor who has died, this Act and all rules and regulations made under this Act shall apply in respect of him as if he were living and the holder of a current practising certificate.
