Regulation 12 Casual vacancies on the Authority

If a casual vacancy arises because a member who was a mayoral nominee ceases to be a member, the Authority shall notify the Mayor.

Upon receiving notice under paragraph (1) the Mayor shall give to the clerk to the selection panel the name of a different nominee to fill the vacancy.

If a casual vacancy arises in either the ALG category or the DJMC category, the Authority shall request the selection panel to select a different member in that category.

If a casual vacancy arises in the magistrates' category, the Authority may request the selection panel to select a different member in that category to fill the vacancy and shall do so if there would otherwise be less than 4 members in the magistrates' category.

A member who is appointed to a casual vacancy on the Authority shall serve only for the remaining part of the period for which the member he replaced was appointed.

A casual vacancy includes a vacancy that occurs because a member ceases to be a member by virtue of regulation 4(5), (6), or (7).
