5—Amendment of section 10—Court's principal judicial officer

Section 10—after subsection (7) insert:

        (7a)         The Judge of the Court may, by instrument in writing, delegate a judicial function conferred on the Judge of the Court under this Act or another Act to a Judge of the District Court (including a person appointed under the Judicial Administration (Auxiliary Appointments and Powers) Act 1988

to act in the office of Judge of the District Court on an auxiliary basis).

        (7b)         A delegation under subsection (7a)

—

            (a)         is revocable at will; and

            (b)         does not derogate from the power of the Judge of the Court to act in any matter.

        (7c)         To avoid doubt, delegation of a judicial function under subsection (7a)

to a Judge does not result in the Judge being a member of the Court's principal judiciary.
