Regulation 11: Transitional arrangements

11.1

On 1 September 2010, we ceased to issue QLTR certificates of eligibility and instead began issuing QLTS certificates of eligibility.

11.2

The QLTT will continue to be available until the expiry of all QLTR certificates of eligibility.

11.3

If you have commenced the Bar Vocational Course after 1 August 2009 and before the commencement of these regulations on a part-time basis, your application for a certificate of eligibility shall be treated as if it were made under the QLTR provided that you have successfully completed the Bar Vocational Course:

(a)

prior to 31 August 2011; or

(b)

if we, in the exercise of our discretion, determine that your circumstances are exceptional, such later date as we determine shall apply.
