Continuation of Board
4 Continuation of Board
The new Board is taken to be a continuation of, and the same legal entity as, the former Board.
A person who, immediately before the repeal of the 1921 Act, held office as an elected or appointed member of the former Board ceases to hold office on the repeal of the 1921 Act.
A person to whom subclause (2) applies is not entitled to any remuneration or compensation because of the loss of office but is, if qualified, eligible for election or appointment to the new Board.
If a person is not appointed or elected as a member as provided by section 60 (1) (c) or (d) on or before the commencement of section 59—
the Minister may appoint a person instead of that person as provided by section 60 (4) or (5) (as appropriate), and
a reference to a relevant educational institution in section 60 (4) is, for the purposes of paragraph (a), to be read as a reference to an institution referred to in clause 30 of the Architects (Elections and Appointments) Regulation 1995 (as in force immediately before its repeal), unless the regulations have prescribed any institution for the purposes of the definition of relevant educational institution in section 60 (6) on or before that commencement.
Despite anything to the contrary in this Act or the regulations, a person who is appointed as a member as provided by subclause (4) ceases to hold office on the expiry of the period of 6 months after the member’s appointment (unless the person is removed from office sooner).
