The Supreme Court of Appeal held that the Legal Practice Council's advisory note did not constitute administrative action as defined by PAJA, since it did not have a direct, external legal effect or adversely affect the appellant's rights. The advisory note merely explained transitional arrangements and did not alter the law or procedure. Section 116(2) of the Legal Practice Act requires pending disciplinary proceedings to be continued as if the repealed law still applied, but does not strip Advocates' Societies of their standing to bring such applications. The common-law powers of the courts…
