Re-Subscription Of Roll Of Practitioners

Printer friendly version

 

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.
