South Australia remains the last jurisdiction to enact its Legal Profession Act. In early 2009, the bill failed in the Legislative Council (second chamber) due to prorogation. No compromise was reached in an impasse over a dispute over compensation to be paid to clients of a former law firm who allege funds were fraudulently withdrawn from the firm`s escrow account. It was to be hoped that the stalled legislation on the legal professions would be reintroduced, given that, at the time of writing, no timetable had been announced for their resubmission. In March 2009, most of the substantive provisions of the Legal Profession Act 2008 (WA), the Legal Profession (WA) Regulations 2009 and the Legal Profession (WA) Regulations 2009 came into force. Certain provisions, such as those relating to fiduciary accounts and professional development, should be phased in.
