One is to require a qualified medical practitioner to certify any illness proposed as ground for removal of a member of the Tribunal. It was not there in the original Bill. Two, is to include professional misconduct by a member belonging to a professional association as a ground for removal. Those are the two important reasons that will warrant somebody to be removed from the Tribunal. view
