Paragraph 3 I1I2
Community Justice Scotland is to consist of—
a member appointed by the Scottish Ministers to chair Community Justice Scotland, and
at least 5 but no more than 8 other members appointed by the Scottish Ministers.
The Scottish Ministers may not appoint a person as a member if the person is—
a member of the Scottish Parliament,
a member of the House of Commons,
a member of the House of Lords,
a member of the European Parliament.
The Scottish Ministers must make appointments of members of Community Justice Scotland in a manner which encourages equal opportunities and in particular the observance of the equal opportunity requirements.
In sub-paragraph (3), “equal opportunities” and “equal opportunity requirements” have the same meanings as in Section L2 of Part 2 of Schedule 5 to the Scotland Act 1998.
The Scottish Ministers may by regulations modify sub-paragraph (1)(b) by substituting for the minimum or maximum number of members for the time being specified there such other number as they consider appropriate.
Regulations under sub-paragraph (5) are subject to the negative procedure.
The members of Community Justice Scotland may elect from their number a member to—
deputise for the person appointed under sub-paragraph (1)(a),
act during any period when there is no person appointed under that sub-paragraph.
