Paragraph 6 Appointment of chair and vice-chair of the Commissioners

On a casual vacancy occurring in the office of the chair or vice-chair of the Commissioners, the vacancy must be filled by those of the Commissioners who are appointed under article 4(2)(a) or article 10(1) (casual vacancies), at a meeting held as soon as reasonably practicable after the vacancy occurs.

A commissioner appointed under this paragraph to fill a casual vacancy in the office of chair or vice-chair holds that office during the remainder of the term for which the chair or vice-chair whom they replace was appointed, unless that person resigns that office or ceases to be a commissioner.
