Federal Professional Standards Legislation

On 5 December 1998 the Law Council agreed to support the development of federal professional standards legislation to complement existing or future State and Territory professional standards legislation, so as to extend the application of the State and Territory schemes to federal practice and liability in federal law.

A copy of the Law Council's Policy on Capping of Liability can be downloaded below. This policy should be read on conjunction with the Law Council's April 2000 submission on Federal Professional Standards Legislation.
