Regulation 7 Termination of tenure of office
A member may resign his office at any time during his term of office, by giving notice in writing to the Secretary of State.
Where during his term of office a member other than the chairman is appointed to be the chairman, his tenure of office as such a member shall terminate when his appointment as chairman takes effect.
Where the Secretary of State is of the opinion that it is not in the interests of, or conducive to the good management of, the Commission that a member should continue to hold office, he may forthwith terminate his tenure by giving him notice in writing to that effect.
If a member fails to attend any meeting of the Commission for a period of three months the Secretary of State shall forthwith terminate that person’s tenure of office, unless he is satisfied that—
the absence was due to a reasonable cause; and
the person in question will be able to attend meetings of the Commission within such period as the Secretary of State considers reasonable.
Where a person has been appointed to be a member, and—
he becomes disqualified for appointment under regulation 5, the Secretary of State shall forthwith notify him in writing of such disqualification; or
it comes to the notice of the Secretary of State that at the time of his appointment he was so disqualified, he shall forthwith declare that the person in question was not duly appointed and notify him in writing to that effect, and upon receipt of any such notification, his tenure of office, if any, shall be terminated and he shall cease to act as such a member.
If it appears to the Secretary of State that a member has failed to comply with regulation 10 (disability on account of pecuniary interest) he may forthwith terminate that person’s tenure of office by giving him notice in writing to that effect.
