Building Units and Group Titles Act 1980

Every stipendiary magistrate and acting stipendiary magistrate shall by virtue of appointment to that office and without any further or other appointment whatsoever constitute a tribunal for the purposes of this Act while he or she continues to be a stipendiary magistrate or an acting stipendiary magistrate.

If a tribunal which has begun an investigation into a matter under this division ceases to be a stipendiary magistrate or an acting stipendiary magistrate by reason of the expiration of the period of, or the stipendiary magistrate’s retirement from appointment as stipendiary magistrate or acting stipendiary magistrate, he or she shall continue to be a tribunal for the purpose of determining that matter.
