Solicitor Wins Appeal, Renewing Practicing Certificate
Update: 2025-12-22
Description
Australian solicitor wins appeal to renew practicing certificate after contentious class action dispute. The Supreme Court overturned a Law Society decision, stating the original row was an unedifying fight among lawyers. The solicitor proposed a settlement in a racial discrimination case, but the offer fell through, leading to a complaint to the Law Society. The Society refused to renew his certificate, citing potential harm to vulnerable people. However, the Supreme Court ruled that solicitors can pick clients to serve their own financial interests without leaving anyone high and dry, allowing the solicitor to practice again.
