MINES ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1969 - SECT 7

Temporary appointments during vacancy in office of mine manager or under-manager.

7.(1) Where, by reason of death, resignation or other cause, a vacancy occurs
in the office of manager of a mine, nothing in section 2 shall prevent the
mine's being worked at any time during a period not exceeding seventy-two days
(or such longer period as the Ministry may allow) until the vacancy is filled,
if at that time there is a person appointed by the owner of the mine to
exercise the powers and perform the duties of manager of the mine during a
vacancy in the office, being a person who, at that time, is or could be an
under-manager of the mine without the working of the mine thereby being
rendered unlawful by or by virtue of section 6(5).

(2) Where, in the case of a mine the working whereof is unlawful unless there
is at least one under-manager, a sole or last surviving under-manager dies,
resigns or otherwise ceases to hold office, nothing in section 6 shall prevent
the mine's being worked at any time during a period not exceeding seventy-two
days (or such longer period as the Ministry may allow) until the vacancy is
filled, if at that time there is a person appointed by the owner of the mine
to perform the duties of under-manager thereof in the event of a sole or last
surviving under-manager ceasing to hold office, being a person who at that
time either could be an under-manager of the mine without the working of the
mine thereby being rendered unlawful by or by virtue of section 6(5) or has
such other qualifications as may be prescribed and has within his jurisdiction
every part of the mine below ground.

(3) A person appointed by the owner of a mine as mentioned in subsection (1)
or (2) shall, so far as regards any period during which he acts in exercise of
his appointment, be treated for the purposes of this Act, orders made
thereunder and regulations in all respects as if he were the manager of the
mine to which the appointment relates or, as the case may be, an under-manager
thereof.
