16. Court may suspend and strike off Public Notaries

    (1) The Supreme Court (full bench), on the application of any person, may, on such terms and conditions as may seem fit ¾

    (a) suspend any Public Notary from practice, and call in and detain his certificate; or

    (b) strike the name of any Public Notary off the roll, and cancel his certificate.

    (2) Where a practitioner of the Court, being a Public Notary, is suspended from practice or struck off the roll under the Legal Practice Act 2003, he shall, without further order, be suspended from practice as a Public Notary for a similar term, or be struck off the Roll of Notaries, as the case may be.
