Section 16: Removal of certain members of Council

(1)
If it appears to the Council that a member of the Council, (other than the Pro-Chancellor or the Vice-Chancellor) should be removed from office on the ground of misconduct or inability to perform the functions of his office or employment, the Council shall make a recommendation to that effect through the Chancellor to the Visitor and if the Visitor, after making such enquiry (if any) as he considers appropriate, approves the recommendation, he may, by an instrument in writing signed by him, remove the person in question from office.
(2) It shall be the duty of the Visitor, on signing an instrument of removal in pursuance of this section, to use his best endeavour to cause a copy of the instrument to be served as soon as reasonably practicable on the person to whom it relates.
