Law Society of New South Wales v Cornwell

The Law Society of New South Wales brought an application against the Respondent, Mr. Cornwell, seeking the dismissal of a complaint filed against him. The matter was before the court, which had to determine whether the complaint should be dismissed under section 155A of the relevant legislation.

The primary legal issue the court had to decide was whether the complaint should be dismissed as it did not meet the requirements under section 155A of the relevant legislation. The court also had to consider the appropriate costs orders and procedural directions for the case.

In dismissing the application for the dismissal of the complaint, the court held that the complaint did meet the requirements under section 155A of the relevant legislation. The court determined that the complaint should not be dismissed and ordered that each party bear their own costs of and incidental to the application. The court also provided specific directions for the filing and service of affidavit material and set a date for the hearing of the Information. This case highlights the importance of meeting the legislative requirements when filing a complaint and the consequences of failing to do so.
