Mutual Recognition of Multi-Jurisdiction Professional Standard Scheme

Members who practice across Australian jurisdictions may be interested to read the Guidance Note issued by the Professional Standards Council on mutual recognition of multi-jurisdiction professional standard schemes.

A professional standard scheme operates to impose a cap on the liability of a professional embraced by a scheme. The Bar Association of Queensland harbours such a scheme – and has done for about 15 years. Such scheme is expressed to extend to the practice of a barrister interstate.
