Paragraph 8

On a casual vacancy occurring in the office of Chairman or Vice-Chairman of the Commissioners, the vacancy must be filled by those of the Commissioners who are appointed under article 4(1)(a) or 9 appointing one of their number to the vacant office at a meeting held as soon as practicable after the vacancy occurs.

A Commissioner appointed under this paragraph to fill a casual vacancy in the office of Chairman or Vice-Chairman shall, unless that Commissioner resigns that office or ceases to be a Commissioner, hold that office during the remainder of the term for which the Chairman or Vice-Chairman whom that Commissioner replaces was appointed.
