Section 7(2)(a) of the Practising Certificate (Special Conditions) Rules is ultra vires insofar as it conditions the Law Society's power under section 6(5)(e) LPO on an actual application; the Law Society nonetheless has power under section 6(5)(e) read with section 3(i) of the Rules to impose the Schedule 1 conditions on extant practising certificates. Because the evidential basis for imposing the conditions on these appellants was weak, the court remitted the matters to the Law Society for reconsideration in light of the court's observations.
