As we all experience another week in COVID-life and start to see more and more restrictions lift, there are a few things I’d like to update and remind you of this week.

Last week, QLS CEO Rolf Moses and President Luke Murphy announced some details of ‘Phase 2’ of QLS’s support for legal practitioners. This is able to be provided due to $750,000 funding from Queensland Law Foundation and I’d like to thank them for their support.

The Justice and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2020 (Qld) came into force on 25 May 2020. It can be found here. It strengthens the provisions of the Legal Profession Act 2007 (Qld) (Act) relating to suitability matters and show cause processes for directors of insolvent incorporated legal practices and corporations.
