138  Ceasing to be the representative for a participating group of non‑government institutions
 (1) The Minister may, by notifiable instrument, revoke a declaration made under subsection 137(1) in relation to a representative for a participating group.
 (2) The Minister must, by notifiable instrument, revoke a declaration made under subsection 137(1) if:
 (a) the representative; or
 (b) each of the members of the group (other than the representative, if the representative is a member);
requests the Minister in writing to revoke the declaration.
Note: If a participating group of non‑government institutions does not have a representative, then the Minister must revoke the declaration made under subsection 134(1) that the group is a participating group (see subsection 135(3)).
 (3) Despite subsections (1) and (2), the Minister must not revoke a declaration made under subsection 137(1) unless any requirements prescribed by the rules in relation to the revocation are satisfied.
 (4) If:
 (a) the Minister revokes a declaration made under subsection 115(2) in relation to a participating institution that is a member of a participating group immediately before the revocation; but
 (b) because of subsection 116(7), the institution continues to be a participating institution in relation to a person who made an application for redress before the revocation;
then the representative for the participating group continues to be the representative for the group in relation to the person, as if the institution were still a member of the group.
