Harold is relieved - the Unit Chair did not notice that he had submitted Martha's work as his own assessment task in his History of Law unit and he ultimately received a good mark for it. A few years pass by and Harold, having graduated from the University with his law degree, is preparing his application for admission to the legal profession in Victoria ('application'). He remembers that he submitted Martha's work as his own in his History of Law unit but decides that, since there were no consequences from the University in relation to this conduct, he does not need to include it in his Disclosure Statement to VLAB as part of his application. Harold also considers whether he should include any disclosure in his application about what he considers to be a small misunderstanding he had with Centrelink. When he commenced his law degree, Harold begun receiving study support payments from Centrelink. At some point during the second year of his degree, Harold started part-time work but forgot to update his income details with Centrelink. As a result, Harold received more study support payments than he was entitled to for a period of about 6 months, before he remembered to update his income details with Centrelink. Harold chooses not to disclose this Centrelink overpayment in his application as he considers it an innocent mistake and because Centrelink is still unaware that this occurred. He has not repaid Centrelink the additional money he received (which he was not entitled to) over that 6 month period. Was Harold's disclosure, as part of his application for admission to practice in Victoria, full and complete, as required by law?
