For the purposes of section 92, the Commissioner shall, from time to time, establish such number of Promotions Appeal Boards as are required to expeditiously deal with appeals under that section.
A Promotions Appeal Board shall be constituted by the following persons appointed by the Commissioner:
a Chairman, who shall be appointed from a panel approved for that purpose by the Minister on the advice of the Commissioner given after consultation by the Commissioner with the Police Association;
a person nominated by the Police Association; and
one other person who shall be appointed from a panel approved for that purpose by the Minister on the advice of the Commissioner.
A Promotions Appeal Board may:
strike out an appeal that it considers vexatious or frivolous;
and
in any case, award costs in respect of an appeal.
In determining an appeal, a Promotions Appeal Board may:
disallow the appeal;
allow the appeal and direct the Commissioner to promote the appellant; or
direct the Commissioner to re-advertise the vacancy.
Where the Commissioner is directed under subsection (4)(b) to promote an appellant but the appellant is unwilling to accept the promotion, the Commissioner may refer the matter back to the Appeal
Board for directions (and the Appeal Board has jurisdiction to give such directions) or re-advertise the vacancy.
The Chairman and members of a Promotions Appeal Board hold office:
for 3 years; and
subject to the terms and conditions determined by the Minister.
