The High Court considered an application by the South African Legal Practice Council to rescind an ex parte order admitting Ms Modisakeng as a legal practitioner and authorising her enrolment as an attorney. The judgment says she had not complied with the Regulation 6 vocational training requirements when the order was granted, and that later compliance did not cure the defect. The court refused condonation and the counter-application, and rescinded the admission order.
This appears to concern admission and enrolment requirements under the Legal Practice Act and the court's treatment of non-compliance with those requirements.
