Article 10 Casual vacanciesI1

A casual vacancy arising in the office of a duly appointed member of the Board must, unless it is not reasonably practicable to do so, be filled by the appointment of a Board member by the Council in accordance with the requirements of articles 7 (composition of the Board) and 9 (terms of office for Board members).

If a member of the Board appointed under article 7(1)(a) ceases to be a member of the Council or is suspended or disqualified from being a councillor, the Council must appoint a replacement member at its next meeting, whose term shall run until the end of the administrative period of the Council during which the appointment takes place.

A member of the Board appointed to fill a casual vacancy under this article shall, if appointed under article 7(1)(b) hold office as a member of the Board for the remainder of the term of the member of the Board in whose place that person has been appointed.
