The Governor may, on the recommendation of the
Attorney‑General, remove a Judicial Registrar from office for—
mental or physical incapacity to carry out official duties satisfactorily; or
neglect of duty; or
dishonourable conduct.
A Judicial Registrar ceases to hold office if the Judicial
Registrar—
dies; or
completes a term of office and is not reappointed; or
resigns by written notice to the Attorney‑General;
or
ceases to satisfy any qualification by virtue of which the person was eligible for appointment to the office of Judicial Registrar;
or
is removed from office under subsection (1).
The Attorney‑General may only make a recommendation under subsection (1) with the concurrence of the Chief
Judge.
The Chief Judge may, on the Chief Judge's own initiative or at the request of the Attorney‑General, suspend a Judicial Registrar from office if it appears that there may be grounds for the removal of the Judicial
Registrar from office.
If a Judicial Registrar is suspended under subsection (4), the Judicial Registrar remains entitled to the Judicial Registrar's usual remuneration and allowances during the period of suspension.
