D2.3: Associates, Consultants and Employees

2.3.1 You shall not cause or permit the name of any person to appear on the nameplate or professional stationery of the practice unit of which you are a manager unless that person is:

(a) a manager of that practice unit,

(b) a consultant to that practice unit,

(c) an associate of that practice unit, or

(d) an employee of that practice unit.

2.3.2 Where you cause or permit the name of a consultant, associate or employee to appear on nameplate or professional stationery, the status and designation of such consultant, associate or employee shall be unambiguously stated in such a manner as to distinguish clearly such consultant, associate or employee from the managers of the practice unit.

2.3.3 In the event that the Council shall determine that you have contravened rules 2.3.1 or 2.3.2, the Council may, by notice duly given to you, require you, from such date as the notice may stipulate, to amend the relevant nameplate or professional stationery in such a manner as shall comply with rules 2.3.1 and 2.3.2.
