sec.256 Immediate suspension of member

The Minister may suspend a member of a land trust immediately if the Minister believes— either— a ground exists to remove or suspend the member; or the member is a member of the executive committee of the land trust and, in performing the member’s functions as a member of the committee, is likely to contravene this Act; and it is necessary to suspend the member immediately because there is an immediate risk to the proper operation of the land trust or proper dealing with trust property. However, the Minister may immediately suspend the member only if the Minister also gives the member and the land trust a show cause notice for action to remove or suspend the member under this subdivision. If the Minister decides to immediately suspend the member, the Minister must, when the Minister gives the show cause notice— give the member an information notice about the decision; and give the land trust a copy of the information notice. The suspension— operates immediately the member is given the information notice; and if the member is also a member of another land trust—suspends the member as a member of the other land trust; and continues to operate until the earlier of the following happens— the show cause notice is finally dealt with; 60 days have passed since the suspension took effect. s 256 ins 2011 No. 26 s 78 sub 2013 No. 23 s 17 (sec.256-ssec.1) The Minister may suspend a member of a land trust immediately if the Minister believes— either— a ground exists to remove or suspend the member; or the member is a member of the executive committee of the land trust and, in performing the member’s functions as a member of the committee, is likely to contravene this Act; and it is necessary to suspend the member immediately because there is an immediate risk to the proper operation of the land trust or proper dealing with trust property.
