Review of the proposed Legal Practitioners' Bill

In this review, I would assume that the reader is conversant with the provisions of the current Act and would make a comparison where necessary. I am also going to use the word “clause” in reference to the proposed section per the Bill.

At the outset, I should state that there is a discrepancy between the Bill and the Memorandum proposing the amendment of the Act. One should therefore read the Bill itself to really appreciate the proposed amendment. The Bill does not propose many amendments. Most of the sections would not be affected by the Bill, therefore this presentation focuses on sections which are proposed to be amended.
