Re-Subscription Of
Roll Of Practitioners
1. Female
Practitioners Who Marry
When
the name of a female practitioner is changed in consequence of marriage she
will be permitted to re-subscribe the Roll of Practitioners, without moving the
Full Court for the purpose, upon production of evidence of her change of name. Such evidence should normally be given by
affidavit sworn and filed in the same matter as that in which the original
order for her admission was made and exhibiting a certified copy of the
marriage certificate.
2. Practitioners
Who Have Changed Their Names and Female Married Practitioners Who Desire to
Practise in Their Maiden Names
When
a practitioner has changed his or her name, or where a female practitioner who
has been admitted in her married name wishes to practise in her maiden name, the
practitioner will be permitted to re-subscribe the Roll of Practitioners,
without moving the Full Court for that purpose, upon production of evidence of
the change of name.
In
the case of a change of name such evidence should normally be given by affidavit
sworn and filed in the matter of original admission and exhibiting a copy of
the certificate of change of name or a copy of the birth certificate on which
the notation of change has been made.
In
the case of a married female practitioner who desires to practise in her maiden
name such evidence should normally be given by affidavit sworn and filed in the
matter of original admission deposing to the fact that she proposes to practise
in her maiden name and to use that name for all professional purposes.
