Where an order which has been filed includes provision for any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) to (i) of section 47(2), the Society—

shall cause a note of the effect of the order to be entered on the roll against the name of the solicitor or former solicitor with respect to whom the application or complaint was made; and
except where it only makes provision for matters referred to in paragraph (e), (ea), (f), (h) or (i) of section 47(2), shall forthwith upon filing the order cause a notice stating its effect to be published ....

Any file kept by the Society under this section may be inspected during office hours without payment.

An order which has been filed shall be treated, for the purpose of enforcement, as if it had been made by the High Court.

In the case of orders of the Tribunal under section 44E, the reference in subsection (2)(a) to the application or complaint is to be read as a reference to the Tribunal's order.
