Paragraph 10 Powers of appointment and termination exercisable on behalf of the combined authorityF1

(1)

The powers to make and terminate the appointment of a person as a commissioner are (by virtue of section 107D(1A)) powers of the combined authority exercisable only by the mayor on behalf of the combined authority.

(2)

Accordingly, if a person is appointed as a commissioner—

(a)

under a worker’s contract, the combined authority is the employer;

(b)

under a contract other than a worker’s contract, the contract is between the combined authority and the commissioner;

(c)

otherwise than under a contract, the commissioner holds office under the combined authority.

(3)

In this paragraph “worker’s contract” and “employer” have the same meanings as in the Employment Rights Act 1996 (see section 230 of that Act).
