The Legal Profession Act gives a complainant no right to have the Commissioner's decision reviewed. The Commission reviews decisions anyway, saying it is "good decision-making practice and in the public interest".
In 2023-24 it finalised 35 reviews. It affirmed 34, and one decision was "repealed to allow further assessment". In 2024-25 it received 46 requests, resolved 44, accepted 30 for review and affirmed all 30. Eleven were not accepted and three were withdrawn. Over two years, one decision in 65 was changed.
In 2024-25 the Commission documented its review practice as part of developing a formal policy, and its annual report says the revised Internal Review Policy is on its website. Regulator Review could not find it there on 26 October 2026.
