    (1)     The Principal Councillor Conduct Registrar, after examining an application made under section 143, must appoint an arbiter to the Council to hear the matter if the Principal Councillor Conduct Registrar is satisfied that—

        (a)     the application is not frivolous, vexatious, misconceived or lacking in substance; and

        (b)     there is sufficient evidence to support an allegation of a breach of the Councillor Code of Conduct as specified in the application.

    (2)     The Principal Councillor Conduct Registrar must reject an application if the Principal Councillor Conduct Registrar is not satisfied under subsection (1)(a) or (b).
