385: References to President of District Law Society

You could also call this:

"What happens to references to a District Law Society President when it is dissolved"

Illustration for Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006

When a District Law Society is dissolved, you will see references to its President in other laws or documents. These references must be read as if they were talking about the President of the New Zealand Law Society instead. This change happens unless the context of the reference means something else is intended.
