When the president of the industrial tribunal observes a temporary difficulty in the operation of a section, he may, after receiving the assent of the vice-president and subject to the agreement of the parties concerned, temporarily assign the industrial tribunal members of one section to another section to hear disputes falling within the jurisdiction of the latter section. Such assignments are made for a period of six months, renewable twice under the same conditions.
In the absence of a decision by the president of the industrial tribunal or where the vice-president has issued a negative opinion, the first president of the court of appeal, at the request of the public prosecutor, may note the operational difficulty and, with the agreement of the parties concerned, make the temporary assignments referred to in the first paragraph.
Decisions on temporary assignments in the event of operating difficulties are made by an order that is not subject to appeal.
