Queensland Competition Authority Act 1997

This section applies if a member of the authority who is 1 of the members who constitute the authority for an arbitration—

stops being a member of the authority; or

for any reason, is not available for the arbitration.

For finishing the arbitration, the chairperson must direct that the authority is to be constituted by—

the remaining member or members; or

the remaining member or members together with 1 or more other members of the authority.

If a direction is given under subsection (2), the authority as constituted under the direction—

must continue and finish the arbitration; and

for that purpose, may have regard to any record of the proceedings of the arbitration made by the authority as previously constituted.

In subsection (1), a reference to a member of the authority who is 1 of the members who constitute the authority for an arbitration includes a reference to a member who is 1 of the members for that purpose because of the application on 1 or more occasions of subsection (2).
