When member’s office ends
644 When member’s office ends
The judge holds office as a member of the Mental Health Court until the earlier of the following days—
the day the person’s appointment as a member of the court ends;
if the person resigns as a member of the court—the day the notice of resignation takes effect under section 643;
the day the person ceases to be a Supreme Court judge.
However, if the judge ceases to hold office as a member of the court while hearing a matter, the Governor in Council may, without reappointing the person as a member of the court, continue the person in office for the time necessary to enable the hearing to be completed.
The person continued in office may exercise the jurisdiction and powers of the court that are necessary or convenient for the hearing to be completed.
