Pigs and Bacon Act, 1935

Election of ordinary members and substitutive members.

78.—(1) Where an ordinary members (election) order made in an election year declares that a number (in this section referred to as the appointed number) of ordinary members shall be elected by persons whose names are entered in a panel of curers at a meeting of those persons to be held on the date specified in that behalf in such order, the following provisions shall have effect, that is to say:—

(a) the appointed number of ordinary members shall be elected at such meeting, and

(b) immediately after the said election there shall also be elected at such meeting a number of persons (in this Part of this Act referred to as substitutive members) to act, if so required, during their term of office as substitutes for such ordinary members, and the number of substitutive members to be so elected shall be twice the appointed number of ordinary members.

(2) References in this Act to substitutive members representative of the same class of curers as an ordinary member shall be construed as references to the substitutive members elected at the same meeting as that at which such ordinary member was elected.
