the office of President of the Commission is abolished and replaced with the office of Chief Commissioner, and

the office of Vice-President of the Commission is abolished, and

the office of Deputy President of the Commission is abolished, and

the office of judicial member is abolished.

A person who, immediately before the abolition day, held office as an Acting Deputy President of the Commission is taken to have been appointed as an Acting Commissioner for the remainder of the person’s term of appointment.

Anything done by the President of the Commission that, immediately before the abolition day, had effect under this Act continues to have effect as if it had been done by the Chief Commissioner.

A person who ceases to hold an office by operation of this clause is not entitled to any remuneration or compensation because of the loss of that office.

This clause does not limit the application of clause 62 to a person who is also a judicial member.
