124: Term of appointment, and reappointment

You could also call this:

"How long you can be on the review panel and what happens when your time is up"

Illustration for Public Safety (Public Protection Orders) Act 2014

When you are a member of the review panel, you are appointed for 3 years or less. You keep being a member until you are reappointed or someone else is appointed to take your place. If you are still working on a review when your term ends, you can finish it and are considered to still be in office until it is complete.

If you want to stop being a member, you can resign at any time by writing to the Minister of Justice. The Minister of Justice can also remove you from office if they have a good reason, and you will not get any compensation. You can be reappointed as many times as needed.

You can be removed or resign from office, but you can still finish any reviews you are working on. The Minister of Justice makes decisions about removing members, and you can find more information about this in the Public Safety (Public Protection Orders) Act 2014 and similar laws like the ss 120 and ss 121.
