Article 6 Limit on length of service as member of BTDC

A justice may not serve as a member of a BTDC for more than a total of nine years.

A member of the BTDC shall be eligible for reappointment if, at the end of his most recent term of office, he will have served as a member of the BTDC for a period or periods totalling less than nine years.

If, on a date before the end of the period specified in rule 4(4) or (as the case may be) rules 5(2)(b) or 8(2)(b), a member will have served as a member of the BTDC for nine years that member’s term of office shall end on that date.
