Tenure of office of members

53.—(1) Subject to the provisions of this section, a member of the Corporation shall hold his office for a period of three years from the date of his appointment or such shorter period as may be specified in his instrument of appointment.

(2) The office of a member shall become vacant—

(a)if he resigns by notice in writing given to the Higher Authority; or

(b)if any circumstances arise which, if he were not a member, would cause him to be disqualified for appointment as a member under paragraph (a) or (b) of section 52; or

(c)if he begins to serve a sentence such as is referred to in paragraph (c) of section 52; or

(d)if the Higher Authority removes him from office for improper conduct as a member or failure to perform efficiently the functions of his office (whether due to infirmity of body or mind or any other cause) or to take all possible steps to cause the Corporation to comply with any court order requiring it to remedy a default; or

(e)in the case of a member other than the Chairman, if he is absent without the permission of the Chairman from three successive meetings of the Corporation of which he has had notice; or

(f)if the Higher Authority is satisfied that the private interests of the member conflict with his duties as a member and that consequently it is inexpedient for him to continue to hold office as such a member.

(3) A notice of resignation given in terms of paragraph (a) of subsection (2) shall take effect on the expiration of one month, or such shorter period as may be agreed between the Higher Authority and the member concerned, from the date on which it is given.

(4) A member vacating his office may, unless disqualified for appointment, be again appointed as a member from time to time.
