"Cancel a ban on working for a lawyer"

Illustration for Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006

You can apply to the Disciplinary Tribunal to revoke an order made about you under section 242(1)(h). The rules for this application are the same as for an application under section 246(1) by a practitioner who has been struck off the roll. The Disciplinary Tribunal may revoke the order if they think you are a fit and proper person to work for a practitioner. You need to apply to the Disciplinary Tribunal to have the order revoked. The Tribunal will hear your application and make a decision. They can revoke the order if they are satisfied with your application. If the order is revoked, it does not mean you will get your old job back. The revocation only cancels the order made under section 242(1)(h). You will not be automatically reinstated to your previous employment.
