351 Claims by law practices or associates about notional
defaults
(1) This section applies if a default of a law practice arising from or
constituted by an act or omission of an associate of the practice was
avoided, remedied or reduced by a financial contribution made by the
practice or by 1 or more other associates.
(2) For this section, the default, to the extent that it was avoided,
remedied or reduced, is a notional default.
(3) This part applies, with necessary changes, to a notional default in the
same way as it applies to other defaults of law practices, but only the
law practice or the other associate or associates concerned are eligible
to make claims about the notional default.
Note A regulation may fix a maximum amount that may be paid in relation to
a claim (see s 348).
