58: Striking off and restoration of names by order of Disciplinary Tribunal or High Court

You could also call this:

"Removing or restoring a lawyer's name from the official list"

Illustration for Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006

If you are a barrister and solicitor, your name can be removed from the roll if the Lawyers and Conveyancers Disciplinary Tribunal or the High Court makes an order. The Registrar must remove your name from the roll after a notice of the order is published in the Gazette. You can have your name restored to the roll if the Tribunal makes an order to do so and you pay the restoration fee. If an order is made to remove or restore your name, the Registrar must make a note of the date and effect of the order in the roll. The Registrar must also note which court made the order. This is how the roll is updated when someone's name is removed or restored. You can find more information about this by looking at section 51 of a previous law.
