The Judge Advocate General appoints a Registrar for the Summary Appeal Court. You need to know the Registrar can appoint clerks and other officers as needed. The Judge Advocate General or Registrar must approve any other jobs these people want to do. The Registrar and other officers are appointed in writing. You are told who can appoint them and how it is done. Their other jobs must be approved by the Judge Advocate General or Registrar. The Judge Advocate General or Registrar checks if other jobs are compatible. They make sure the person's other jobs do not interfere with their work. This is how the Summary Appeal Court is organised.
