Dr Rajski does not have a relevant interest to warrant joinder as a party under either s. 169 of the Legal Profession Act 1987 or s. 67(4) of the Administrative Decisions Tribunal Act 1997, and granting joinder would interfere with the statutory role of the Legal Services Commissioner. No error of law regarding procedural fairness occurred as Dr Rajski had adequate opportunity to present written and oral submissions.
