Subregulation 2
Despite paragraph (1), the Part B Director may immediately report the matter to the Dean in writing without having to comply with rule 16(1) or issuing any letter of warning to the candidate concerned under rule 16(2), but must notify the candidate in writing that he or she has made the report to the Dean, if the Part B Director has reason to believe that the candidate has —
cheated in the Part B Examinations or on any assignment, examination or test, or has facilitated the cheating of another candidate in the Part B Examinations or on any assignment, examination or test;
committed any offence on the premises of the Institute, or any premises used for the Part B Course or on which the Part B Examinations are conducted;
in any dealing with the Institute, acted fraudulently or dishonestly;
committed any misconduct again, after having been dealt with before by the Dean under rule 19 or a Disciplinary Committee under rule 22; or
done any other act or conducted himself or herself in any other manner which —
is unbefitting or unbecoming of a person seeking admission as a lawyer (NP) or as an advocate and solicitor, or implies a defect of character making him or her unfit for the legal profession; and
in the opinion of the Part B Director, is of sufficient gravity to warrant an immediate report to the Dean.
