Legal Profession Uniform Law (NSW)

The office of Commissioner becomes vacant if he or she—

completes a term of office and is not reappointed; or

resigns the office by written instrument addressed to the host Attorney-General; or

has his or her appointment terminated by the host Attorney-General under this clause; or

dies.

The host Attorney-General may terminate the Commissioner’s appointment after consultation with the Standing Committee—

for incapacity, incompetence, misbehaviour or unsatisfactory performance; or

for contravening a condition of the Commissioner’s appointment contained in his or her instrument of appointment; or

without limitation, if—

the Commissioner has been found guilty of an offence (whether in Australia or elsewhere) that, in the opinion of the host Attorney-General, renders the Commissioner unfit to continue to hold the office of Commissioner; or

the Commissioner becomes an insolvent under administration.
