This determination shuts down one such account that was established under the *Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997*.\n\n**What changes?**\n* The Legal Practice Account ceases to exist\n* Money can no longer be paid into or withdrawn from this account\n* Any remaining balance would be dealt with according to the rules in the parent Act\n\n**Who is affected?**\nThis primarily affects government agencies or departments that previously used this account to manage funds related to legal services or court matters. For most Australians, this is an administrative housekeeping measure that tidies up government financial arrangements."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/financial-management-and-accountability-determination-2005-04-legal-practice-special-account-aboliti","history":"/api/acts/financial-management-and-accountability-determination-2005-04-legal-practice-special-account-aboliti/history","analysis":"/api/acts/financial-management-and-accountability-determination-2005-04-legal-practice-special-account-aboliti/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/financial-management-and-accountability-determination-2005-04-legal-practice-special-account-aboliti/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/financial-management-and-accountability-determination-2005-04-legal-practice-special-account-aboliti/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/financial-management-and-accountability-determination-2005-04-legal-practice-special-account-aboliti/documents"}}
