13 Judicial member of Courts Council may nominate person to act in his or her absence
A person nominated by a judicial member of the Courts Council (the nominee of that member) may act as a judicial member of the Courts Council in the absence of the judicial member.
The nominee of a judicial member of the Courts Council must be—
in the case of the nominee of the President of VCAT—a Vice President or Deputy President of VCAT; or
in the case of the nominee of any other judicial member—a judicial officer of the jurisdiction of that member.
While a nominee is acting in the absence of a judicial member of the Courts Council—
the nominee may exercise any of the powers or functions of the judicial member; and
a reference in this Division to the judicial member of the Courts Council is to read as a reference to the nominee.
