Law Society Northern Territory v Petersen [2025] NTSC 34 (6 June 2025)
[1] The Supreme Court admitted the respondent (‘Petersen’) to the legal profession under s 25 of the Legal Profession Act 2006 (NT) (‘Act’) on 11 May 2020.
[2] Some years after her admission, the applicant (‘Society’) became aware of various matters which it said Petersen had failed to disclose in her application for admission in breach of the duty of candour. Those things included that Petersen had been charged with various criminal offences, that Petersen had, as a party, pursued unmeritorious litigation and been ordered to pay indemnity costs, and that Petersen had applied to be admitted to the legal profession in Queensland before making her application in the Northern Territory (‘Territory’).
[3] The Society argued that in the affidavit in support of her Territory application, Petersen had denied having applied for admission in another jurisdiction, which was deliberately dishonest and motivated by a desire to hide the other matters she had not disclosed.
