52 Power of the Board to recommend suspension or cancellation of registration

(1) The Board may recommend that the registration of a chiropractor be suspended for a specified period or cancelled if the Board is satisfied (when it finds on a complaint about the chiropractor) that the chiropractor does not have sufficient physical and mental capacity to practise chiropractic.

(2) If the chiropractor is not registered, a recommendation can be made under this section that the chiropractor not be re-registered.

(3) The Board makes its recommendation by referring the matter with its recommendation to the Chairperson or to a Deputy Chairperson nominated by the Chairperson.

(4) The Chairperson or Deputy Chairperson may then make an order in the terms recommended or may make such other order as to the suspension or registration of the chiropractor as the Chairperson or Deputy Chairperson thinks proper based on the findings of the Board.

(5) An order may also provide that an application for review of the order under Division 3 of Part 6 may not be made until after a specified time.

(6) Instead of making an order under this section, the Chairperson or Deputy Chairperson may exercise any power or combination of powers of the Board under this Division.
