BY-LAWS NOS. 8 TO 17 (BOTH INCLUSIVE) AND 33 OF THE NEW ZEALAND INSTITUTE OF SURVEYORS.

Termination and Suspension of Membership.

8. No member whose subscription is six months in arrear shall be entitled to the privileges of membership so long as his subscription is unpaid. Any member whose subscription is twelve months in arrear may be struck off the roll of membership by the Council.

9. Any member may resign his membership by notice in writing to the Secretary.

10. No member whose registration is suspended under the Surveyors Registration Act, 1928, shall, until the determination of the suspension by lapse of time or by order of the Board of Appeal, be entitled to the privileges of membership.

11. If any member is convicted, whether in New Zealand or elsewhere, of any offence punishable by imprisonment which, in the opinion of the Council, is derogatory to the profession or calculated to dishonour him in the public estimation, or if any member is, in the opinion of the Council, a person of bad character or guilty of malpractice or improper or unprofessional conduct in his profession as a surveyor, the Council may, after inquiry, expel him from the Institute or declare that he be not entitled to the privileges of membership for such period as the Council thinks fit, or fine him a sum not exceeding £2.

12. Before expelling or suspending from the privileges of membership or fining any member under the last preceding by-law, the Council shall give to such member not less than two calendar months’ notice of the place, hour, and date of such inquiry, specifying the ground of complaint.

14. No member shall be expelled or suspended from the privileges of membership or fined under By-law No. 11 hereof unless five members of the Council present at the inquiry shall certify in writing that, in their opinion, sufficient grounds have been proved to justify the Council in expelling such member or suspending him from the privileges of membership, or fining him.
