Permits in line with Directions issued in terms of Regulation 10 to be issued to enrolled Legal Practitioners only

The Legal Practice Council notes that the Directions issued in terms Regulation 10 of the Regulations under the Disaster Management Act, 2002, require legal practitioners to obtain essential service permits from the Director of the relevant Provincial Council. The LPC would however like to inform practitioners that it will not be able to issue permits to legal practitioners who are not on the roll (database) maintained by the LPC. The rolls of attorneys and advocates are available on the LPC website under the “Search Practitioners” tab. The LPC is therefore encouraging practitioners who are not enrolled with the Council to do so. Enrolment forms and required information is available on the following link https://lpc.org.za/legal-practitioners/

The LPC officials are doing the registrations remotely and will be able to assist with any enquiries.
