Disposition after member ceases to hold office

A member who has just left can be asked by the Chairperson, within eight weeks of leaving, to finish deciding a case they already heard. For that purpose they count as a member again, so the hearing does not have to be run all over.

Affects: Refugee claimants and protected persons
