Abolition of former offices and appointment to new offices
92 Abolition of former offices and appointment to new offices
The former offices are abolished on the commencement date.
Note—
See the Constitution Act 1902, section 56(2), which provides for the consequences of abolishing a judicial office.
On the commencement date—
the person holding office as the Chief Industrial Magistrate immediately before the abolition of the office is appointed as the Chief Industrial Local Court Judge, and
a person holding office as an Industrial Magistrate immediately before the abolition of the office is appointed as an Industrial Local Court Judge.
A person referred to in subclause (2) is taken to hold the new office subject to the terms and conditions, including remuneration, that applied to the person’s former office immediately before the commencement date.
Unless the contrary intention appears, a person’s service in a former office must be reckoned for all purposes as service in the person’s new office corresponding to the former office.
