Section 16c

the Law Society has reasonable cause to believe that the personal representatives of a deceased advocate who immediately before his death was practising as an advocate in his own name, or as a sole advocate under a firm name, have been guilty of dishonesty or undue delay in administering the affairs of that advocate’s practice or in connection with any trust of which that advocate was the sole trustee or co-trustee only with one or more of his clerks or servants; or

an advocate dies and immediately before his death the provisions of the

Second Schedule applied to him, the provisions of the Second Schedule, other than paragraph 7, shall apply in relation to the personal representatives and shall continue to apply to the personal representatives of the advocate last mentioned as they apply or applied, as the case may be, in relation to the advocate referred to in those provisions and as if the words “the personal representatives” were, with such modifications as may be necessary, substituted for the words

“the advocate” wherever these words appear in those provisions.

In this section, “trust” and “trustee” have the meanings assigned to them in subsection 16b(3).
