402 Acting chairperson
This section applies to a person who, immediately before the commencement day, holds an appointment to act as the chairperson of the commission.
Note—
See section 397 in relation to the continuation of the person’s appointment to act as the chairperson until the commencement day.
The person is appointed to act as the chairman of the commission—
from the start of the commencement day; and
until the earlier of the following—
31 October 2014;
the day a person’s appointment as chairman under section 229 takes effect.
The person’s appointment and employment to act as the chairman of the commission is subject to the same terms and conditions applying to the person’s appointment and employment to act as the chairperson before the commencement day (other than the duration of that appointment).
Until the person’s appointment to act as the chairman of the commission ends under subsection (2)(b)—
a reference in a provision of this part to the chairman is taken to be a reference to the person; and
for that purpose, the provision applies with necessary changes.
Subsection (6) applies if the person is appointed as a commissioner from the day the person’s appointment under subsection (2) ends.
The period for which the person was appointed to act as the chairperson immediately before the commencement day, and the period of the person’s appointment under subsection (2), is to be counted as a period for which the person holds office in the commission as a commissioner for the purposes of section 231(3).
