NOTARIES PUBLIC ACT 1984 - SECT 13

Removal from roll

    (1)     If, on the application of any person, it is proved to the satisfaction of the Supreme Court that the conduct of a notary public has been such as to justify it in so doing, the court may, by order, direct that the name of the notary public be removed from the roll.

    (2)     If the Supreme Court makes an order under subsection (1) directing that the name of a notary public be removed from the roll, the registrar must alter the roll by removing the name of that person.

    (3)     The registrar must remove the name of a person from the roll if—

        (a)     the person is a lawyer; and

        (b)     the Supreme Court makes an order under the Legal Profession Act that the name the person be removed from the roll of lawyers kept under that Act.

    (4)     The registrar must remove the name of a person from the roll if—

        (a)     the person holds an unrestricted practising certificate; and

        (b)     the practising certificate is cancelled under the Legal Profession Act.

    (5)     If the unrestricted practising certificate of a person who is on the roll is cancelled under the Legal Profession Act, the law society council must immediately tell the registrar, in writing, about the cancellation.

    (6)     If the registrar has removed the name of a person from the roll under subsection (4) because the law society has cancelled the person's practising certificate, the registrar must restore the person's name to the roll if—

        (a)     the law society council revokes its decision to cancel the certificate; or

        (b)     the Supreme Court makes an order revoking the cancellation of the certificate.
