Call to the Bar - time limits

Are there any time limits on getting called to the Bar? I know that you have to have done at least ten qualifying sessions in the five years to being called. That's not too much problem because they can easily be redone. But what about in relation to your exams? Do you have to get called within a specific period from when you passed your exams?

Thanks

I'm not aware that there are, but then again I've never known this question to be asked before so I don't definitively know the answer. It'd be best to contact one of the Inns to ask.

Thanks, yes, I'm awaiting an answer from my Inn. I might ask the BSB as well since they are behind the rule that QSs have to be within five years of call, so perhaps the question is for them as well.
