Clause 86

Any person duly admitted as an advocate and solicitor shall be an officer of the High Court: Provided that the provisions of any written law which imposes on officers of the High Court any restrictions as to practice as advocates or solicitors shall not apply to any advocate and solicitor by virtue only of this subsection.

Nothing in this Part of this Act shall affect the jurisdiction referred to in subsection (3) of this section which is exercisable by the High Court or any judge thereof over any advocate or solicitor practising before it.

The High Court or any judge thereof may exercise the same jurisdiction in respect of advocates and solicitors as can be exercised by a superior court in England over barristers or solicitors practising before any such court.
