(2) Any person who is aggrieved by an act done by a law practitioner in
the exercise of his profession may report the matter to the Attorney-General.
(3) Where the Attorney-General is of opinion that an act done by a law
practitioner, whether or not an enquiry under subsection (1) has been made,
is of such a nature as to call for the institution of disciplinary proceedings, he
shall submit a detailed report on the matter to the Chief Justice and a copy
of the report to the person against whom the proceedings are to be taken.
(4) The Chief Justice shall, on receipt of a report under subsection (3),
appoint a day for the hearing of the matter.
(5) The Registrar shall cause notice of the day appointed for the hearing,
together with a copy of the report, to be communicated to the law practitioner.
(6) Nothing in this section shall be construed as limiting the inherent
powers of the Supreme Court to deal with matters of professional discipline
of law practitioners.
