Illustration for Motor Vehicle Sales Act 2003

You can think of an adjudicator as having stopped being in their job if they die or are declared bankrupt under the Insolvency Act 2006. The Minister can remove an adjudicator from their job at any time if they cannot do their job, neglect their duties, or behave badly. An adjudicator can resign from their job at any time by giving the Minister written notice.
