19Member ceasing to act

##### 19 Member ceasing to act (1) Where the hearing of an appeal or request has been commenced before a Disciplinary Appeal Committee but, before the appeal or request has been finally determined, a member of the Committee has ceased to be such a member or, for any other reason, is unable to take any further part in the determination of the appeal or request, the 2 remaining members of the Disciplinary Appeal Committee may, with the consent of the Agency, constitute the Committee for the purpose: (a) if the hearing has not been completed—of completing the hearing; and (b) if both members concur in the decision—of determining the appeal or request. (2) If, for any reason, a Disciplinary Appeal Committee constituted in accordance with subsection (1) by the remaining members of a Disciplinary Appeal Committee established under section 16 to hear and determine an appeal or request does not complete the hearing and determine the appeal or request, a new Disciplinary Appeal Committee constituted in accordance with subsection 17(1) shall hear and determine the appeal or request and, for that purpose, may have regard to the evidence given, the arguments adduced and the reasons for any decision given during the previous hearing.
