The Short Title of this Act is “The Commissioners Act Amendment Act, 1905”; and it shall form part of “The Commissioners Act, 1903” (hereinafter called “the principal Act”).

In every case where, under the principal Act or any other Act, or his Letters Patent, the Governor or the Governor in Council appoints one or more Judges of the Supreme Court to be members of a Commission for the purpose of holding any inquiry, every such Judge, and the Commission of which he is a member, shall, for all the purposes of such inquiry, have the same powers, privileges, and immunities as are possessed by a Judge of the Supreme Court in the exercise of his civil jurisdiction under “The Supreme Court Act, 1882.”

For the purpose of enforcing any order made by such Commission the order shall, as soon as conveniently may be after the making thereof, be drawn up and signed by the Chairman (whose signature and status shall be judicially noticed), and may be filed in any office of the Supreme Court, whereupon the order shall be enforceable in the same manner as a final judgment of that Court in civil proceedings.

In the case of every such member the provisions of this Act shall be deemed to supersede those of section three of the principal Act; and in the case of every Commission of which he is a member section four of that Act shall be read as if the words “Judge of the Supreme Court” were substituted for the word “Magistrate,” and section ten thereof shall be read as if the words “Court of Appeal” were substituted for the words “Supreme Court.”

Section thirteen of the principal Act is hereby repealed, and in lieu thereof it is hereby declared that the principal Act shall extend and apply to all inquiries held by Commissioners appointed by the Governor or the Governor in Council under any Act or his Letters Patent.
