Judicial office not affected by appointment to another judicial office
69F Judicial office not affected by appointment to another judicial office
In this section:
court includes a tribunal (however described) that exercises functions of a judicial nature or functions of a similar nature (such as conciliation functions, arbitration functions, disciplinary functions or administrative review functions).
judicial office extends to the office of any member of a court, but only if the holder of the office is required to be a judicial officer or have legal qualifications.
The doctrine of incompatibility of office—
does not operate to prevent the holder of a judicial office (the original office) from being appointed to another judicial office (the additional office); and
does not operate to effect or require the surrender or vacation of the original office as a result of the appointment to the additional office.
This section applies—
even if the original office or the additional office is held on an acting or temporary basis; and
even if the original office or the additional office is a judicial office of another jurisdiction (including, but not limited to, judicial offices to which appointments are made under section 69C); and
even if an appeal lies from a decision of the court of one of the judicial offices to the court of the other judicial office; and
even if the courts of the judicial offices are not of the same status.
