Filling of casual vacancies in committees.

12.—(1) Whenever a vacancy (in this Act referred to as a casual vacancy) occurs in the membership of a vocational education committee by reason of the death, resignation, or disqualification of a member thereof, the local authority by whom such member was elected shall, as soon as conveniently may be, elect a person to fill such vacancy.

(2) In electing a person to fill a casual vacancy in the membership of a vocational education committee, the local authority electing such person shall have regard to the provisions of this Act in relation to the number of members of such committee who are required to be members of such authority.

(3) A person elected to fill a casual vacancy in the membership of a vocational education committee shall, unless he sooner dies, resigns, or becomes disqualified, hold office as a member of such committee for the residue of the term for which the member whose death, resignation, or disqualification occasioned the vacancy would have held office as such member if he had not died, resigned, or become disqualified.
