Disciplinary Panel Hearings

Hearings are held for more serious breaches when it is more appropriate to do this than impose a fixed penalty or agree a consent order.

Panels for hearings are chosen from a committee of eight RICS members, eight lay members and a lay chair.

The penalties that a panel can impose are:

  • Caution
  • Reprimand
  • Undertakings as to future conduct
  • Fines (in accordance with Supplement 2 to the Sanctions Policy - Fines, Costs and Administration Fees)
  • Conditions on the member's continued membership of RICS
  • Conditions on the firm's registration for regulation
  • Expulsion of the member from RICS
  • Removal of the firm's registration for regulation.
