Cancellations and refunds
If a registered attendee cancels or does not attend the LCA event other than for a reason that relates to the non-excludable consumer obligations, for example where the registered attendee cancels or does not attend due to a change in the registered attendee's own circumstances, the following policy applies;
Cancellations must be notified in writing to events@lawcouncil.au
- A full refund will be provided for all cancellations received in writing at least 30 days prior to the event.
- A 75% refund will be provided for cancellations made in writing 21-29 days prior to the event.
- A 50% refund will be given for any cancellations received in writing within 14- 19 days of the event.
- No refund will be given for any cancellations received within 14 days of the event, or for non-attendance on the day.
- Delegate substitutions may be made at any time subject to the communication to, and approval by, the LCA (which cannot be unreasonably withheld). If a replacement delegate is eligible for the same category of registration, the higher fee will apply, and the difference must be paid within 24 hours or prior to the event, whichever is sooner.
Program amendments
Any representations made by the LCA, or information provided by the LCA in respect of an event is current and accurate to best of the LCA’s knowledge, at the time that the representation is made, or information provided. To the extent permitted by law, including the Australian Consumer Law, the LCA does not make any representations or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of the information.
Although every effort will be made to keep presentations as represented, the LCA reserves the right to make any reasonably necessary changes to the program, including:
- altering the scheduled dates;
- changing the location of events;
- substituting any of the speakers for any event; and
- cancelling the event.
In the event that an LCA event is altered, changed or delayed, the LCA will contact registered attendees prior to the event date to notify them of the changes.
Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
It is the responsibility of the individual member to determine whether CPD points can be earned for an attendance of an
event hosted by the sections of the LCA, as the mandatory CPD requirements vary between each State and Territory. Please refer to your relevant State and Territory Law Society in advance of the event for further information.
