7Disqualification for membership of the Forum
Articles 8 to 10 shall have effect for the purpose of prescribing the circumstances and cases in which a person is to be disqualified for holding, or continuing to hold, office as a member of the Forum.
8Disqualification for membership of the Forum—bankruptcy etc.
Subject to the provisions of this article, a person shall be disqualified for holding, or for continuing to hold, office as a member of the Forum if he has been adjudged bankrupt or has made a composition or arrangement with his creditors; and a member, on becoming so disqualified, shall give written notice of the fact to the secretary to the Forum.
Where a person is disqualified by reason of his having been adjudged bankrupt, that disqualification shall cease—
unless the bankruptcy order made against that person is previously annulled, on his discharge from bankruptcy; and
if the bankruptcy order is so annulled, on the date of the annulment.
Where a person is disqualified by reasons of his having made a composition or arrangement with his creditors and he pays his debts in full, the disqualification shall cease on the date on which the payment is completed and in any other case it shall cease on the expiration of three years from the date on which the terms of the deed of composition or arrangement are fulfilled.
9Disqualification for membership of the Forum—criminal convictions
Subject to paragraph (2) a person shall be disqualified for holding, or for continuing to hold, office as a member of the Forum if—

he has at any time been convicted as aforesaid and has had passed on him a sentence of imprisonment of not less than five years.
For the purposes of this article there shall be disregarded any conviction by or before a court outside the United Kingdom of an offence in respect of conduct which, if it had taken place in any part of the United Kingdom, would not have constituted an offence under the law in force in that part of the United Kingdom.
10Disqualification—absence from meetings
Any member of the Forum who, without the consent of the Forum, has failed to attend the meetings thereof for a continuous period of six months beginning with the date of a meeting shall, on the expiry of that period, be disqualified from continuing to be a member of the Forum, without prejudice however, to his re-appointment.
