CaseChat Overview and Summary

The Legal Practitioners Admissions Board and Jenkins case involved an application by the Legal Practitioners Admissions Board for admission of a person to the legal profession. The applicant, Jenkins, was seeking admission and was opposed by an objector, Jeremy James Worcester. The Court of Appeal ordered the matter to be heard in the Trial Division of the Supreme Court. Worcester sought to be heard on the part of the matter being heard in the Trial Division, relying on provisions in the Legal Profession Act 2007 and Supreme Court (Admission) Rules 2004, which allowed the Court of Appeal to give an objector leave to appear. The primary legal issue was whether Worcester was entitled to appear and be heard in the Trial Division under the cited statutory provisions.

The court considered whether the statutory provisions permitted Worcester to appear and be heard in the Trial Division. The court noted that the statutory provisions allowed the Court of Appeal to give leave to an objector to appear in proceedings in the Trial Division. The court found that Worcester was entitled to the leave provided by the statute and that he could appear and be heard in the Trial Division. The court also considered the implications of Worcester’s appearance on the proceedings and made directions for the future progress of the matter in the Trial Division.

The court granted the relief sought by Worcester, declaring that he had leave from the Court of Appeal to appear and be heard on the part of the proceeding to be heard and determined in the Trial Division of the Supreme Court. The court also made directions for the future progress of the matter in the Trial Division.
