Under the Queensland Law Society Act a client agreement was only needed if costs were to exceed $750 plus GST and outlays. Is this still the case under the Legal Profession Act 2007?

No, the position is rather different under the LPA 2007. The monetary limit now relates to the requirement to give disclosure to the client, rather than to the costs agreement. Section 311(1)(a) states that disclosure under sections 308 or 309(1) is not required to be made if the total legal costs in the matter, excluding disbursements, are not likely to exceed $1,500 exclusive of GST.

(Prior to 18 July 2008 this amount was $750). Also, section 311(2) requires that if you don't give that disclosure in reliance on the exemption, but then become aware that the total legal costs are likely to exceed $1,500 then you must give disclosure under sections 308 and 309 as soon as practicable. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
