I don't know what you did in the end, but I can't say I am thrilled with the "licence surrendered" that appears next to my name now. I wish there was a lower cost option, something that covers the bare costs of getting the ORs and basic admin, you know, $200-$300 a year sounds fair.

I'm sucking it up and shelling out the cash. Other law societies I'm familiar with charge a non-practicing fee of between $100-$200.
