  "text": "(1) The appointment of an ineligible person as a commissioner is of no effect.\n(2) The appointment of a person ceases to have effect if a person becomes ineligible after appointment as a commissioner.\n(3) For the purposes of this paragraph a person is “ineligible” if the person—\n(a) is disqualified for being elected or holding office as the mayor for the area of a CCA under paragraph 8, 9 or 9A of Schedule 2, or\n(b) is the mayor or deputy mayor for the area of the CCA to which the appointment relates.\n(4) But being a commissioner does not make a person ineligible by virtue of paragraph 8(1)(a) of Schedule 2 (as applied by sub-paragraph (3)(a)) — instead see paragraph 4(3).\n(5) Any defect in the appointment of a person as a commissioner, or in the qualifications of a person appointed as a commissioner, does not affect the validity of anything done by the person as commissioner.",
