New Zealand Legislation: Acts
Acts are laws made by Parliament
(1) If the Minister is satisfied that any member of the Commission is incapacitated or prevented by illness, absence, or other sufficient cause from performing his or her duties as a member, the Minister may designate a person qualified for appointment to the office of that member as a deputy member to act for that member while that member is so incapacitated or prevented.
(2) A deputy member must, while the deputy member acts as a member of the Commission, be taken to be the member in whose place the deputy member acts.
(3) For the avoidance of doubt, where the Minister designates a deputy member for the chairperson of the Commission, that deputy member is to be taken as the chairperson of the Commission, despite the fact that there may be a deputy chairperson appointed under clause 1 of Schedule 5 of the Crown Entities Act 2004.
Section 9: substituted, on 25 January 2005, by section 200 of the Crown Entities Act 2004 (2004 No 115).
