Practice question
A disciplinary fine is expressly payable within two months from receipt, consistently with Section 41. Counsel interprets immediate execution to require payment before the stated deadline. Which is sound?
- Section 43 automatically deletes every payment period.
- A two-month term means the decision is void.
- The lawyer may ignore the fine forever.
- Immediate executory character must be read with the applicable payment period and the actual dispositive terms.
- Only the local chapter can set a new deadline.
