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;
