Co-Operatives National Regulation (Queensland)

The co-operative may suspend a member for not more than one year, who does any of the following:

contravenes any of these rules;

fails to discharge obligations to the co-operative, whether under these rules or a contract;

acts detrimentally to the interests of the co-operative.

In order to suspend a member, the procedure for expulsion of a member set out in rule 9 is to be followed as if references to expulsion were references to suspension.

During the period of suspension, the member:

loses any rights (except the right to vote) arising as a result of membership; and

is not entitled to a refund, rebate, relief or credit for membership fees paid, or payable, to the co-operative; and

remains liable for any fine that may be imposed.
