        punishable with imprisonment since his name-

        (i)    was first entered on the Register; and

        (ii)   was removed from the Register;

   (b)  whether he has been found guilty in Hong Kong or elsewhere of
        misconduct in a professional respect since his name-

        (i)    was first entered on the Register; and

        (ii)   was removed from the Register;

   (c)  in the case of his having been so convicted or having been so found
        guilty of misconduct, the place and nature of each such offence or
        record of misconduct, as the case may be;

   (d)  whether there are outstanding legal proceedings against him at the
        time of the application.

(4) In considering an application for restoration, the Practitioners Board
may, in its absolute discretion and after such inquiry as may be necessary,
either allow or refuse the application.

   (a)  shall direct the Registrar, on payment of a prescribed fee by the
        applicant, to restore the name of the applicant to the Register and
        the Registrar shall restore the name as directed; and

   (b)  may determine that the restoration is subject to such conditions as it
        considers desirable.
