Exemption under rule 13 was granted because the court was satisfied on the material (including Law Society's consent and Secretary for Justice's non-objection) that the purpose of Form 4 — evidence of a satisfactory traineeship and that the applicant is fit and proper — was fulfilled and there existed a cogent reason (complete breakdown in relationship with the principal) preventing production of a signed Form 4; a condition was imposed limiting use of the exemption to the admission application and excluding use in ongoing related litigations.
