(1) Subject to paragraph (2), the Board may make a determination that a Member is unsuitable to continue his membership of the Board if the Board is satisfied—
(a) that that Member has failed to attend three consecutive meetings of the Board;
(b) that that Member has committed a serious breach of the Code of Conduct; or
(c) in its reasonable opinion, that the continued membership of that Member presents a real risk that confidence in the work of the Board may be undermined.
(2) Subject to paragraph (4), the Board shall not make a determination pursuant to paragraph (1) unless the Chair has given the Member a reasonable opportunity to make written representations to the Chair.
(3) The Chair shall, having provided the Member with such an opportunity, bring the matter to the attention of the Board at the next Board meeting, at which time the Board shall, taking any written representations received into account, determine whether the Member is unsuitable to continue his membership of the Board.
(4) For the purposes of paragraphs (2) and (3), where the Member falling within paragraph (1) is the Chair, paragraphs (2) and (3) shall be read as if references to “the Chair” were to “the Deputy Chair”.
