(1) This section applies if—
(a) a receiver has been appointed for a law practice; and
(b) a legal practitioner associate of the practice claims a lien for legal costs on regulated property of the practice.
(2) The receiver may give the legal practitioner associate a written notice requiring the associate to give the receiver within a stated period of not less than 1 month—
(a) particulars sufficient to identify the regulated property; and
(b) a detailed bill of costs.
(3) If the legal practitioner associate asks the receiver in writing to give access to the regulated property that is reasonably necessary to enable the associate to prepare a bill of costs to comply with subsection (2), the time allowed under that subsection does not start to run until the access is provided.
(4) If a requirement of a notice under subsection (2) is not complied with, the receiver may disregard the legal practitioner associate's claim in dealing with the regulated property claimed to be subject to the lien.
