Regulation 10 Tenure of office of chairmen of courts boards

A member selected to be a chairman of a courts board shall be appointed by the Lord Chancellor to hold that office for a fixed term.

On expiry of a member’s term of office as chairman, the Lord Chancellor may select and re-appoint that member to serve a further term as chairman.

Regulation 7 does not apply to selection and re-appointment under paragraph (2).

A chairman of a courts board may resign from that office at any time by giving notice in writing to the Lord Chancellor.

Where the Lord Chancellor gives notice in writing under regulation 9 suspending or removing a chairman’s membership of a courts board, his term of office as chairman shall also be suspended or cease, as the case may be, from the date on which the notice is given by the Lord Chancellor.
