The General Chiropractic Council (Constitution and Procedure) Rules Order 1999
This Order, which is made under the Chiropractors Act 1994, approves Rules made by the General Chiropractic Council (“the Council”) setting out the grounds of and procedure for removal of members of the Council and the arrangements for the appointment and co-option of members to the statutory committees of the Council. The Rules also prescribe the circumstances in which an unexpired term of office (where a member fails to complete his full term) need not be filled before the end of that term, and provide for the appointment of an acting Chairman of the Council in circumstances where the Chairman is unable to act because the post is vacant or for another reason specified in Rule 6.
