Tafa Completes Hat-Trick Over Law Society

The Court of Appeal once again affirmed that the Law Society’s decision of 2019 to refuse Collins Newman & Co, Parks Tafa, and several of the firm’s lawyers with practising certificates was not based on the law.

Tafa first triumphed over The Law Society when he launched an urgent application against the society’s actions to strike his firm and lawyers from the roll in 2019 and succeeded. The ruling would later be confirmed by the High Court, but The Law Society took the matter on appeal, where Tafa, for the third time, emerged tops and further changed the way The Law Society had been traditionally going about its business in removing practitioners from the roll. The victories are a game-changer that things will never be the same.
