Senior Courts Act 2016

High Court - Commissioners for oaths, affidavits, and affirmations

32: Revocation of commission

You could also call this:

"When a Commissioner loses their job, what happens next?"

Illustration for Senior Courts Act 2016

You can lose your job as a Commissioner if a High Court Judge thinks it's necessary. If this happens, anything you did before you were told you lost your job is still valid. The Judge must tell everyone about the decision by publishing it in the Gazette. You might want to look at the related law from 1986 for more information. The decision to revoke your commission is made by a High Court Judge and they must publish the details. This is how the law works for Commissioners in New Zealand.
