I move amendment No. 50:

In page 16, between lines 30 and 31, to insert the following:

“Centralised court office - deemed powers and functions

38. Where, pursuant to section 36, specified business may or shall be transacted in a centralised court office, for the purposes of such a transaction in the centralised court office, the following shall apply:
(a) that centralised court office is deemed to be the court office in which the business would, in the absence of its specification as specified business, require to be

transacted;

(b) the members of staff of the Courts Service employed in that centralised court office under section 39 are deemed to be officers attached to that court office;

(c) any reference in an enactment to that court office or to an officer or member of staff of that court office shall, save where the context otherwise requires, be deemed to include that centralised court office or an officer or member of staff of that centralised court office, as the case may be.”.
