S.L. 605.12 Art. 8Removal or resignation.

(1) A member of the Board may at any time be removed from office by the Prime Minister on the grounds of inability to perform the functions of his office as required, either because of mental or physical illness, or for any other reason due to which the member would no longer be fit to occupy such office or due to misconduct.

(2) A member of the Board may resign from his office through a letter addressed to the Prime Minister. If any member tenders his resignation or is removed from his office by the Prime Minister or should the office of any member of the Board become in any manner vacant, the Prime Minister, upon recommendation of the Minister, may appoint a qualified person to take up this post and any person who is so appointed shall keep on occupying that post up to the termination of the term of office of the person being so substituted, and such person shall be eligible to be reappointed.

(3) Any absence or vacancy among the members of the Board or any participation in its meetings by any person who is not entitled to attend, shall not invalidate the proceedings of the Board, insofar as there shall be a quorum of not less than one-half of the number of members of the Board plus one.

(4) Subject to the provisions of this Order and of any regulations made under the Act, the Board shall generally regulate its own procedures.

(5) The Minister may issue guidelines regarding the procedures to be adopted by the Board in the course of its operations.
