Police Act 1990

The person holding office as Commissioner immediately before the appointed day is taken to have been appointed as Commissioner on the appointed day for a period of 5 years or until the person reaches 65 years of age, whichever is the shorter period. However, if that person was appointed for a term, the person is taken to have been appointed for the balance of that term.

For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the amending Act (including the provisions relating to the Commissioner’s contract of employment and the Commissioner’s removal from office) apply to the Commissioner during the period of appointment under this clause.

Until the Commissioner enters into a contract of employment, the Commissioner is entitled to remuneration at the rate payable to the Commissioner immediately before the appointed day.

A delegation by the Commissioner made under section 31 and in force immediately before the substitution of that section by the amending Act is taken to be a delegation under that section (as so substituted).
