corresponding disciplinary body or other corresponding
authority made under a corresponding law in relation to
functions exercisable under this Act; and
(b) give effect to or enforce any recommendation or order of a
corresponding disciplinary body or other corresponding

Australian legal practitioner, or the employment of a person by
a solicitor, in the ACT.

order that a person’s name be removed from the roll of lawyers under
this Act, the Supreme Court must order the removal of the name from
the local roll.

order that an Australian legal practitioner pay a fine, a copy of the
recommendation or order may be filed in the Supreme Court and the
recommendation or order may be enforced as if it were an order of
the court.
