Chapter 2 of Part 6 states: "In this Chapter 'legal academic' means a legal academic within the meaning of section 45A" and so on. We have quite a lengthy section in section 33 dealing with the definition of a legal academic and so on. I am not sure why it is necessary to rehearse it at this point because it seems to me a legal academic has already been satisfactorily defined in the legislation. One assumes the provisions and terms of the Bill would apply in all cases to legal academic as so defined in the Bill. I am wondering why this subsection is included.
