41: Process for removal

You could also call this:

"How a Minister can fairly remove someone from a job"

Illustration for Crown Entities Act 2004

If a Minister thinks a member should be removed, they can do this with as little formality as possible, while still being fair. You need to consider the principles of natural justice when making this decision. The Minister must also think carefully about the matter and follow the rules in the Crown Entities Act 2004 that apply to the specific type of entity.
