Editor’s picks

• Legal Profession Board of Tasmania v A Legal Practitioner [2023] TASSC 34

  • “The [Legal Profession Board] has also failed to substantiate the assertion that the respondent was required to cease to act by virtue of r 12(3) by reason of his acting in any particular instance in a manner contrary to any identified interest of one or more of the parties. I am not satisfied that unsatisfactory professional conduct or professional misconduct can somehow be implied from "the vibe" of an apparently ill-fated transaction and the fact that a legal practitioner acted for all parties to the transaction.”
