Under the 1979 Rules domestic court panels are appointed for a petty sessions area every three years, but a magistrates' courts committee may make a direction for the formation or dissolution of a combined panel in respect of two or more petty sessions areas to take effect at the beginning of each three year period. These Rules enable such a direction to take effect during a current three year period of appointment, and provide that the members of a panel formed by such a direction will be appointed in the first instance until the end of the current three year period and thereafter every three years.",
