1 This section applies if the Lord Chancellor is satisfied by means of a medical certificate that a person holding office as a judge of the Supreme Court— a is disabled by permanent infirmity from the performance of the duties of his office, and b is for the time being incapacitated from resigning his office. 2 The Lord Chancellor may by instrument under his hand declare the person's office to have been vacated. 3 A declaration by instrument under subsection (2) has the same effect for all purposes as if the person had, on the date of the instrument, resigned his office. 4 But such a declaration has no effect unless it is made— a in the case of an ordinary judge, with the agreement of the President and Deputy President of the Court; b in the case of the President, with the agreement of the Deputy President and the senior ordinary judge; c in the case of the Deputy President, with the agreement of the President and the senior ordinary judge.
