South Australian Consolidated Acts South Australian Consolidated Acts20—Classification into principal and ancillary judiciary
(1) The Court's
judiciary is made up of the members of its principal judiciary (ie., those
members of its judiciary who are occupied predominantly in the Court) and its
ancillary judiciary (ie., those members of its judiciary who are not occupied
predominantly in the Court).
(2) The principal
judiciary consists of—
(a) the
Senior Judge; and
(b) the
Judges who were appointed specifically to the Court (as distinct from the
Judges assigned to be Judges of the Court); and
(c) the
Judges and industrial magistrates who are classified as members of the Court's
principal judiciary by the proclamations under which they were assigned to be
members of the Court's judiciary.
(3) A proclamation
assigning a person to be a member of the Court's judiciary must classify the
person either as a member of the Court's principal judiciary or as a member of
the Court's ancillary judiciary.
(4) An assignment to
be a member of the Court's principal judiciary is effective for as long as the
member continues to hold office as a District Court Judge or a magistrate
under the Magistrates Act 1983 (as the case requires) but an assignment
to be a member of the Court's ancillary judiciary will be for a term specified
in the proclamation of assignment which may be renewed or extended by
proclamation from time to time but may not extend beyond the time when the
member ceases to hold office as a District Court Judge or a magistrate under
the Magistrates Act 1983 (as the case requires).
(5) However, the
Governor may, by proclamation, made at the request or with the consent of the
Judge or magistrate concerned—
(a)
change the terms of an assignment so that a member of the Court's principal
judiciary becomes a member of its ancillary judiciary, or a member of the
Court's ancillary judiciary becomes a member of its principal judiciary; or
(b)
revoke an assignment to the Court's principal or ancillary judiciary.
