NSW Can a NSW solicitor not admitted by the NSW Bar Association hold themselves out as a 'solicitor and barrister'?

[Perp]

This man has a supervised practicing certificate in NSW. The NSW Bar Association says that he is not admitted to the bar.

His email footer says, and he introduces himself as, a 'solicitor and barrister'.

Kosher?

@Perp - I don't have an answer but suggest that it is best to contact the Law Society Registry on 02 9926 0156.
I recall that it was previously possible (and to my recollection, reasonably common, to be admitted as "solicitor and barrister" in NSW). See Lawlink NSW: Chapter Four - Separate Licensing of Solicitors and Barristers

Short answer - Yes, the lawyer can use that term.
What he's not allowed to is call himself "a barrister"
as though that's what he is.

Long answer - In NSW, professional titles are prescribed in Rule 9 of the Legal Profession Uniform General Rules 2015 .
The term "Solicitor and Barrister" is provide for in item 2 thereof.
The requirement is to have Practising Certificate. That he has a supervised PC is not relevant.

What he's not allowed to is call himself "a barrister", as though he's a wig-and-gown-clad
full time specialist court advocate.
(And, there are separate rules about solicitors wearing robes etc)

The terms "Solicitor and Barrister" and "Barrister and Solicitor" are both OK, and interchangeable.
Personally, in day to day life, I'm a solicitor, even though I get on my feet quite often.
For myself, I only use the term "Solicitor and Barrister" when working overseas (such as when I work in China).

Brilliant, thank you both for your input.
