New Zealand Teachers Council (Conduct) Rules 2004 (SR 2004/143) (as at 01 December 2008)

15 Teacher may object to members of CAC panel
  • (1) At the same time as, or as soon as practicable after, the notice under rule 14 is sent to a teacher, the CAC must give notice to the teacher of the names of the members of the CAC panel that will consider the matter.

    (2) The notice under subclause (1) must advise the teacher that, if he or she objects to any of those members, he or she must notify the CAC of the objection within 5 working days of receipt of the notification.

    (3) If the CAC receives a notice of objection within 5 working days of giving notice to the teacher, the convenor of the CAC must, unless he or she considers the objection is groundless, replace that member with another member and notify the teacher accordingly.

    (4) Nothing in this rule prevents the convenor replacing a member of a CAC panel at any other time, and for any reason, but if a member is changed the teacher must be notified and subclauses (2) and (3) apply.
