- Court of Appeal
Section 351 limits what conduct may be the subject of a complaint or charge but does not prevent a disciplinary tribunal from considering conduct predating that limitation as contextual or propensity evidence or for assessing penalty; the Tribunal confined liability findings to post-1 August 2002 conduct and properly considered pre-2002 conduct only for context and penalty; the High Court reached its own conclusions on the merits and correctly upheld liability and penalties.
