(2) Subsection (1) does not limit the relevant matters that the Supreme Court or admissions board may consider. (3) However, the Supreme Court or admissions board may decide that a person is a fit and proper person to be admitted to the legal profession under this Act despite a suitability matter because of the circumstances relating to the matter.
