Acting Commissioner appointed by Commissioner
29A Acting Commissioner appointed by Commissioner
If the Governor has not appointed a person under section 28, the Commissioner may appoint a person to act in the office of Commissioner in the circumstances referred to in section 28(1)(a).
A person must not be appointed under subsection (1) for more than 13 weeks in a 12 month period.
An appointment under this section —
may be terminated at any time by the Commissioner; and
may be expressed to have effect only in the circumstances specified in the instrument of appointment.
If the Commissioner appoints a person under subsection (1) and the Governor later appoints a person under section 28 whose term of appointment is to begin before the term of the Commissioner’s appointee has ended, the appointment of the Commissioner’s appointee ceases to have effect on and from the day on which the term of the Governor’s appointee begins.
Sections 18(1) and (2), 19 and 20(1), (3) and (6) apply to an Acting Commissioner appointed under this section.
