Illustration for Crown Entities Act 2004

If you are a Judge and a member of a statutory entity, this section applies to you, unless the entity's Act says otherwise. You can be removed as a member if you breach the board's duties, but only if all other members are removed at the same time for the same breach. This removal does not affect your job as a Judge.

If you breach the board's duties, you can only be removed as a member in the way described above. You cannot be removed in any other way under this Act.

You can be removed as a member at any time according to the general law that applies to Judges being removed from office.
