45. Where a member other than an officer is charged with a breach of a discipline, the committee shall decide before what disciplinary authority the member charged shall appear, whether a designated officer or the discipline committee.
Where it is a discipline committee, the committee shall also decide, after obtaining the opinion of the Director General, which of the quorums prescribed by section 55 will apply.
For such purpose, the committee must first consider whether the alleged breach involves a member of the public or not, the seriousness of the alleged breach, the complexity of the legal problems, the alleged facts and whether the member has been previously disciplined.
