# Levelling-up and Regeneration Act 2023, Paragraph 2: Persons ineligible for appointment


(1) The appointment of an ineligible person as a commissioner is of no effect.
(2) The appointment of a person ceases to have effect if a person becomes ineligible after appointment as a commissioner.
(3) For the purposes of this paragraph a person is “ineligible” if the person—
(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
(b) is the mayor or deputy mayor for the area of the CCA to which the appointment relates.
(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).
(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.
