Admission Rules
The following
practice direction is published in order to make the profession aware of a number
of requirements relating to the preparation of the documentation forming part
of an application to be admitted, particularly where interstate and overseas
applicants are concerned.
1. Each page of any affidavit filed in
relation to an application for admission must be signed by the deponent and the
person before whom the affidavit is sworn or affirmed. Each page must bear the date upon which the
affidavit is sworn or affirmed. The
person before whom the affidavit was sworn or affirmed must, underneath the
jurat, state their entitlement to administer the oath or affirmation and set
out their name in full. The jurat must
not be on a page separate from the conclusion of the matters deposed to in the
affidavit.
2. Affidavits of service must be sworn or
affirmed by the person who actually served the document required to be served.
3. When filing the newspaper advertisement
containing notice of the applicant's intention to apply for admission as a
practitioner in South Australia, the relevant page of the newspaper bearing the
date of publication must be provided.
4. When filing the Board of Examiners Report,
a filing clause should not be contained on either the frontsheet or backsheet
as would otherwise be the case with all other Court documents.
5. At least 14 days prior to the date on
which the Court will be moved to admit the applicant, the applicant or his or
her solicitor must advise by letter the Secretary to the Board of Examiners as
to whether the applicant has been exempted from the requirement to attend the
Full Court sittings at which his or her application for admission will be
listed. If the applicant has been so
exempted he or she must request that the Supplementary Roll sheet be forwarded
after the Court has approved their admission to enable the Roll to be signed in
accordance with Practice Direction 29.
In the event that the above notification is not received it will be
assumed that the applicant intends to attend personally at the relevant sittings.
DATED the 11th day of
January 1995.
