22.    DISCIPLINE

        22.1    Should any Member, in the opinion of the National Council, National Management Committee or his
                    Member Club Executive Committee, commit any wilful breach of the Constitution, Rules, Regulations or
                    Bye-Laws of Nomads, or be guilty of improper, dishonest, unsportsmanlike or unseemly conduct or of
                    conduct which is prejudicial to the interests of Nomads, whether within the bounds of Nomads or outside
                    then such Committee shall have the power

                    22.1.1    To expel such Member, or

                    22.1.2    To deprive such Member of all or any rights and advantages of his or her membership during such
                                   time or period as such Committee in its absolute discretion may deem fit and advisable; or

                    22.1.3    To call upon such Member in writing through the Secretary to resign and if he fails to resign within 7
                                    (SEVEN) days of the date of such request to expel such Member; or

                    22.1.4    To reprimand such Member.

        22.2    Any Member under suspension , for whatever reason, by their Member Club, shall likewise be de-barred
                    from participating in any of the activities of any other Nomads Club for the duration of that suspension.

        22.3    Notwithstanding anything hereinbefore contained, no Member shall be expelled or suspended for a period
                    exceeding two months  unless and until such Committee shall have given him an opportunity to appear
                    before it at such time and place as it in its discretion may deem fit, to explain his or her conduct. At any such
                    hearing such Committee shall determine the procedure to be adopted, but such Committee shall have the
                    power to summon any Member or any person to appear before it to give evidence for or against such
                    Member and any such Member shall have the power to cross-examine any such witness, and shall have the
                    power to tender the evidence of any Member or any other person he may deem fit, and in addition the
                    following shall apply:

                    22.3.1    For the purpose of considering the expulsion of a Member, a quorum of two-thirds of such
                                   Committee shall be present. At least three-quarters of the votes of those present at such meeting
                                   must be in favour of the decision.

                    22.3.2    It shall not be encumbent upon such Committee to state its reasons for such expulsion, and no
                                   Member shall have cause for action for alleged wrongful expulsion.

                    22.3.3    It shall be obligatory on the Member Club to notify all the other Member Clubs of any membership
                                   which they have been compelled to terminate or of the resignation of a Member in circumstances
                                   set out above.

        22.4    Any Member expelled as a result of a decision of his Member Club shall be entitled to appeal against such
                    decision to the National Council. The appeal by the expelled Member shall be lodged in writing with the
                    National Secretary within 14 days of the decision of his Member Club and shall state such expelled
                    Member's grounds of appeal and a copy thereof shall simultaneously be delivered to the Secretary of his
                    Member Club. In such event the Secretary of such Member Club shall, within 30 days of the noting of such
                    appeal, transmit a copy of the proceedings of the meeting at which the decision to expel such Member was
                    taken together with a résumé of the evidence led, and the findings of the Member Club and its reasons
                    therefor, duly certified by the Captain of the Member Club as being a correct record of the proceedings to
                    the National Secretary. The National Secretary shall circularise copies thereof to the Members of the
                    National Council to be received by them not later than 30 days before the next annual meeting of the
                    National Council. Such appeal shall be adjudicated upon by the National Council who shall not be
                    competent to hear additional evidence but who shall receive argument from such expelled Member and the
                    Captain of his Member Club in that order. The expelled Member shall be entitled to a right of reply. Having
                    heard such argument the National Council shall allow or disallow such appeal on a majority vote but the
                    Member Club of which the expelled Member is a Member shall have no vote. Pending the outcome of the
                    appeal, such expelled Member's membership shall be suspended and all his rights and obligations shall be
                    suspended until the decision of the National Council shall be made known. The decision of the National
                    Council shall be final and binding.
