(1) The registrar may exercise a function of a non-presidential member unless—
(a) this Act or an authorising law provides otherwise; or
(b) the general president otherwise directs.
Example
The registrar may hear and decide an application and make any order the tribunal may make.
Note An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).
(2) However, the general president must not give a direction about exercising the functions of the appeal president without the appeal president's agreement.
(3) To remove any doubt, the exercise of a function by the registrar does not affect the power of a presidential member to exercise the function.
