Illustration for Copyright Act 1994

You can stop being a member of the Tribunal at any time by giving the Minister a written notice. If a member of the Tribunal dies or is adjudged bankrupt under the Insolvency Act 2006, they are deemed to have stopped being a member. The Governor-General can remove a member from the Tribunal if they are not able to do their job, neglect their job, or behave badly.
