(1)

Where a JTAAAC or FTAAAC (as appropriate) is advised by the F1justices' legal adviser that the number of justices required to sit as a family or youth justice is excessive, to the extent that justices cannot sit sufficiently often to meet their minimum sitting requirements, it may—

(a)

invite authorised justices to resign their authorisation, or

(b)

recommend that the Lord Chief Justice revokes any authorisation.

Any recommendation to revoke any authorisation under this Rule must be decided by lot in such a way as to retain a sufficient number of justices approved to preside to enable them to carry out their functions.
