Legal Profession Regulations 2007 10 (4) A local legal practitioner may, by written notice to the Society, request the Society not to include any or any specified particulars about the practitioner, law practice or other entity in the register, on the ground that special circumstances warrant the particulars not being publicly available (for example, if the safety or well-being of a person would be substantially affected by making the particulars publicly available). (5) If the Society is satisfied those special circumstances exist, the Society must not include the particulars concerned in the register, unless the Society considers the public interest in maintaining public access to the particulars outweighs any individual interest in the particulars not being publicly available.
