This section applies if an application is made to the Council by an attorney-at-law or a recognised law entity and that attorney-at-law's or recognised law entity's articled clerk for permission to transfer the articles of clerkship of the articled clerk to another attorney-at-law or recognised law entity.
The Council may, subject to subsection (3), give permission if the Council considers it proper to give the permission sought under subsection (1).
The permission under subsection (2) may be given subject to any conditions the Council may think fit to impose.
If articles of clerkship of an articled clerk are transferred to an attorney-at-law or recognised law entity pursuant to permission given under this section, the articled clerk becomes the articled clerk of the attorney-at-law or recognised law entity to which the articles of clerkship are transferred.
The articles of clerkship under which the articled clerk was serving immediately before the transfer shall continue to have effect as though the attorney-at-law or recognised law entity to which the articled clerk was transferred had originally been a party to those articles of clerkship.
Subsection (5) is subject to any modifications made to the articles of clerkship by the Council.
