Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This proclamation fixes 9 April 2008 as the day on which section 657 and section 661(1) of the Legal Profession Act 2007 begin to operate, so those specific provisions take legal effect on that date. It was made by the Governor acting with the advice of the Executive Council under the Act (authority referenced to s 2).

Legal practitioners and bodies governed by the Act must meet the obligations in those sections from that date; the Department of Justice administers the proclamation and it was notified in the Gazette. Mechanically, the executive’s timing choice creates a definite compliance deadline (ss 657, 661(1)).
