Legal Profession Act 2006

If one of the members (other than the presiding member) constituting the Disciplinary Tribunal for a hearing vacates office or becomes incapable of sitting for any reason before the hearing is completed or a decision has been made for the hearing, the hearing may be continued and completed by the remaining members.

If the presiding member or more than one member vacates office or becomes incapable of sitting before the Tribunal has completed the hearing or made a decision for the hearing, the hearing is terminated and a new hearing may be started before the Tribunal constituted under section 674.

In a new hearing the Tribunal may have regard to the record of the proceeding before the Tribunal as previously constituted, including the record of any evidence taken in the proceeding.
