LIVERPOOL, Governor.

ORDER IN COUNCIL.

At the Government House at Wellington, this twenty-second day of May, 1914.

Present:

HIS EXCELLENCY THE GOVERNOR IN COUNCIL.

IN pursuance and exercise of the powers and authorities conferred on him by section fourteen of the Law Practitioners Amendment Act, 1913, His Excellency the Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby make the following regulations providing for an annual audit of the trust accounts of every solicitor, and for a report of the results of such audit; and doth declare that such regulations shall be published in and shall come into force upon the date of their publication in the New Zealand Gazette.

REGULATIONS.

1. IN these regulations—
   “Year” means a year ending on the 31st day of March:
   “Solicitor” means a solicitor of the Supreme Court of New Zealand:
   “Trust Account” includes an account of all moneys which are, when received by a solicitor, subject to the provisions of section 47 of the Law Practitioners Act, 1908, and an account of all trust-moneys received or held by a solicitor, whether in his capacity as a solicitor or otherwise.

2. Within three months after the end of each year, commencing with the year ending on the 31st day of March, 1915 every solicitor who was in practice during the whole or any part of that year shall cause his trust account for that year to be audited by a qualified accountant, who shall forthwith send a report of the result of such audit to the Solicitor-General, verified by the statutory declaration of the auditor in the form set out in the Schedule hereto. The auditor shall at the same time deliver a signed copy of his report to the solicitor to whose account it relates.

3. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing regulations, if any solicitor desires that his trust account should be audited as at any date other than the 31st day of March, and gives notice to that effect to the Solicitor-General, the Solicitor-General may, if he thinks fit, authorize and require that solicitor to substitute such other date for the 31st day of March.

4. At all times thereafter, so long as such authority remains in force, the foregoing regulations shall, in their application to that solicitor, be read as if such other date was substituted for the 31st day of March wherever the last-mentioned date is referred to therein.

5. When any authority is so given by the Solicitor-General to substitute any date for the 31st day of March, he shall at the same time determine the period in respect of which the first audit shall be made in pursuance of that authority, and the time within which such audit and the report thereof shall be made and delivered under these regulations; and these regulations shall be construed and shall have effect, with all necessary modifications, as if such determination formed a part thereof.

6. When any date has been so substituted for the 31st day of March, no change in the date so substituted shall thereafter be made without the authority of the Solicitor-General in accordance with the foregoing regulations.

7. No accountant shall be deemed to be qualified within the meaning of these regulations unless he is a member of the New Zealand Society of Accountants approved by the Solicitor-General, or if he is, or at any time within twenty-four months before the date of his report has been, a clerk, servant, or partner of the solicitor whose accounts are so audited by him, or if he is a clerk or servant of any other practising solicitor, or if he is himself a practising solicitor.

8. For the purpose of every such audit and report every solicitor shall, as and when required, produce to the auditor all books, papers, accounts, documents, and securities in any way relating to his trust account, and give such information as may reasonably be required by the auditor.

9. It shall be the duty of every solicitor to keep his trust account in such a manner as to disclose to the auditor the position of the funds therein, and to enable the same to be conveniently and properly audited.

10. If any auditor in the course of auditing a solicitor's trust account discovers that the said account is not kept in such a manner as to enable it to be properly audited, or discovers any matter which appears to him to involve dishonesty or any breach of the law on the part of that solicitor
