Lambert and Jackson

In the matter of *Lambert and Jackson*, heard before Watts J, the dispute concerned the form of orders to be made and the potential referral of findings to the Legal Services Commission (Queensland) for disciplinary proceedings against Ms Y.

The court was required to determine the appropriate form of orders to be made in the proceeding, and whether prima facie findings should be referred to the Legal Services Commission (Queensland) for consideration of disciplinary action against Ms Y. The court also needed to consider submissions from Ms Y regarding why such a referral should not occur.

Watts J ordered that the matter be relisted for oral argument on the form of the orders. The parties were directed to confer within seven days to attempt to reach an agreed form of orders. If agreement was not reached by 3pm on 21 May 2010, each party was to email a minute of order and a short outline of argument to the associate. A further listing was scheduled for 24 May 2010 to allow Ms Y to make submissions against the referral of findings to the Legal Services Commission. Any affidavit evidence Ms Y intended to rely upon for these submissions was to be filed by 3pm on 21 May 2010. The court also ordered that Ms Y's name be anonymised in any public copies of the Reasons for Judgment, unless otherwise ordered.
