Illustration for Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006

You need to know what happens with practice rules. The New Zealand Law Society must give a copy of its practice rules to the Registrar of Companies. This must be done within 14 days of this Part coming into force. The rules must be approved by the Minister. The New Zealand Society of Conveyancers also has to give copies of its rules to the Registrar of Companies. This includes rules under section 81(2)(a) and its practice rules. Both sets of rules must be approved by the Minister and given to the Registrar within 14 days of Part 5 coming into force.
