If you want to allege incompetence by former counsel at the Federal Court you have to follow the Protocol:

>>I am not persuaded that Mr. Liaqat has met the third element of the applicable test. In my view, the Protocol informs what “a reasonable opportunity to respond” to incompetence allegations looks like, including a meaningful opportunity for the former representative to request leave to intervene in the judicial review (i.e. after leave has been granted). Because there is no evidence that current counsel provided a copy of the leave order to the former representative, I am unable to conclude that the former representative had that opportunity.
