Illustration for Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006

You can be told about a lawyer's practice if a Standards Committee looks into it. The Committee can tell the Registrar-General of Land what they found out. This is so the Registrar-General can do their job properly under the Land Transfer Act 2017.
