You can apply under section 193 for this review. You might be a practitioner or former practitioner affected by the power. You could be related to the practitioner or a body connected to them. You might be an incorporated firm or a former one affected by the power. You could also be a banker who got a notice under section 164(1). You might be someone who got a notice under section 170.

They can apply if the person affected is a lawyer, conveyancing practitioner, or an incorporated firm.
