Breached and You Are Beached

This is the punishment bit. Screw up and you are booted out.


If you want to be a good Commissioner for Oath, play by the rules.

Part VIII tells you how your appointment can be revoked by the Lord President (LP).

In Rule 18(1),the LP can revoke your appointment for the breach of any of the rules of the Commissioners for Oath Rules,1993. He can do so for any other cause as well.

When a Commissioner for Oath is charged with any criminal offence or served with any bankruptcy proceedings he shall forthwith according to Rule 18(2), provide the LP with details of such charge or action brought against him. Again, it is up to the discretion of the LP to suspend his appointment pending the outcome of such criminal or bankruptcy proceedigns.

When he is convicted for any criminal offense or adjudicated a bankrupt, his appointment as a Commissioner will automatically be revoked [(Rule 18(3)].

So, do not commit any crimes and do not be over-geared in loans.
