New Zealand Legislation: Regulations
Regulations are laws made under Acts
(1) Despite regulation 12, a person is to be treated as satisfying the requirements and other criteria set out in that regulation if he or she satisfies the Council of the Law Society that he or she is entitled to practise as a lawyer, in 1 or more Australian jurisdictions, in a manner that is equivalent to, or materially the same as, practising on one's own account in New Zealand as a barrister and solicitor, or as a barrister sole, as the case may be.
(2) Despite regulation 13(1) and (2), the High Court may grant a lawyer leave to practise on his or her own account as a barrister and solicitor, or as a barrister sole, if the lawyer satisfies the court that he or she is entitled to practise as a lawyer, in 1 or more Australian jurisdictions, in a manner that is equivalent to, or materially the same as, practising on one's own account in New Zealand as a barrister and solicitor, or as a barrister sole, as the case may be.
(3) Subclauses (3) and (4) of regulation 13 apply when an application is made to the High Court for leave to be granted in accordance with subclause (2) of this regulation.
