Illustration for Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006

You know that some laws are being replaced by new ones. The Law Practitioners Act 1982 is one of these laws that is being replaced. Part 9 of this old law will still apply for now, along with the Solicitors' Guarantee Fund Rules 1936, until section 370 of the new law comes into force. You can find the old Law Practitioners Act 1982 on the New Zealand legislation website. The Solicitors' Guarantee Fund Rules 1936 are also still in force. These rules will keep applying until the new law says they do not apply anymore. The new law has some sections, like sections 364 to 369, that might change how Part 9 of the old law and the Solicitors' Guarantee Fund Rules 1936 work. You can find these sections in the same new law. Section 370 of the new law will say when these old rules are not needed anymore.
