AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

LEGAL PRACTITIONERS REGULATIONS (REPEAL)

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

No. 27 of 1986

The Regulation repeals the Legal Practitioners Regulations made under the Legal Practitioners Ordinance 1970.

The Legal Practitioners Regulations contained only one substantive provision, namely, a provision prescribing the Legal Workshop at the Australian National University for the purposes of entitlement to admission as a barrister and solicitor of the A.C.T. Supreme Court under the Legal Practitioners Ordinance 1970.

The Legal Practitioners (Amendment) Ordinance (No. 3) 1986 inserted a provision in the Legal Practitioners Ordinance prescribing the Legal Workshop course together with a general provision prescribing courses in practical legal skills in the States for the purpose of entitlement to admission in the A.C.T.

This amendment enabled the Legal Practitioners Regulations to be repealed.
