Cap. 538 Art. 8Failure to obtain, or loss of, a warrant.

(1) No person shall be qualified to obtain or retain a warrant in terms of this Act if he has been convicted of a criminal offence, by a competent court, which carries a punishment of imprisonment for a term exceeding one year, or if he has been convicted of a criminal offence considered by the Council as detrimental to the counselling profession or is not compatible with the counselling profession.

(2) Where a person forfeits his warrant on the ground of a conviction as referred to in sub-article (1), notice of such loss shall be published in the Gazette and shall be communicated by the Council to the person who has forfeited the warrant unless the person has been interdicted by the judgement itself. If the person is in employment, a copy of such communication shall be sent to his employer.

(3) The Council may, at any time, reinstate the person who has forfeited the warrant according to the provisions of article 11.
