Notice of Objection
Any person who intends to object to any application for admission, must file in court and serve on the Attorney-General, the Law Society, the Institute and the applicant a notice of objection not later than 30 days after the date on which the application is filed. Every notice of objection must contain the full name, occupation and address of the person who intends to object, a brief statement of the grounds of his objection and an address for service.
If the Attorney-General, the Law Society or the Institute intends to object to any application for admission, the Attorney-General, the Society or the Institute, must file a notice of objection in court and serve on the applicant, not less than 5 days before the date fixed for the hearing of the application.
If the Attorney-General, the Law Society or the Institute does not intend to object to any application for admission, each of these parties shall serve on the applicant, not less than 5 days before the date fixed for the hearing of the application, a letter stating that it has no objections to the application. It is not necessary for any of these parties to be represented at the hearing of any application for admission unless it intends to object to that application.
The Attorney-General, the Law Society or the Institute may, for the purposes of determining whether to object to any application for admission, require the applicant to provide, at his own expense, such additional information or documents as the Attorney-General, the Society or the Institute, as the case may be, may specify; and apply for that application to be adjourned.
