269: Notice of order for striking off or suspension to be published in Gazette

You could also call this:

"When a lawyer is stopped from working, a notice is published in the Gazette to inform everyone."

Illustration for Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006

You need to know what happens when a court makes a certain order. If a court decides to remove a lawyer's name from the list of lawyers or stop them from working as a lawyer, it must tell people. The court does this by publishing a notice in the Gazette. You will see the date and what the order means in the notice. The person in charge of the court must make sure the notice is published as soon as possible. This notice is important because it lets people know what is happening with the lawyer. The court must follow the rules and publish the notice in the Gazette, which is like an official newspaper, so everyone can see it.
