##### 25 Member ceasing to act (1) Where the hearing of an appeal has been commenced before a Redeployment and Retirement Appeal Committee but, before the appeal has been finally determined, a member of the Committee has ceased to be such a member or, for any other reason, is unable to take any further part in the determination of the appeal, the 2 remaining members of the Committee may, with the consent of the Agency constitute the Committee for the purpose: (a) if the hearing has not been completed—of completing the hearing; and (b) if both members concur in the decision—of determining the appeal. (2) If, for any reason, a Committee constituted in accordance with subsection (1) by the remaining members of the Committee established under section 22 to hear and determine an appeal does not complete the hearing and determine the appeal, a new Committee constituted in accordance with subsection 23(1) or (2), as the case requires, shall hear and determine the appeal and, for that purpose, may have regard to the evidence given, the arguments adduced and the reasons for any decision given during the previous hearing.
