The Court held that the plaintiff had ceased membership under Article 15 for non-payment, reinstatement on payment is not an absolute right but subject to the Council's discretion under Article 44, the Council must properly exercise that discretion and give reasons where appropriate, and the lower court erred in making broad declarations preventing the Council from relying on its minutes and correspondence when reconsidering reinstatement.
