197: Constitution of court
or “Explains how the Employment Court is set up with different types of judges”
You could also call this:

“The boss of the court can choose helpers to do important jobs and paperwork for the court.”

The chief executive can choose employees from the department to be Registrars of the Employment Court. They can also appoint other officers for the court. The chief executive can pick as many Registrars as needed.

An employee chosen to be a Registrar can also have other jobs in the Authority or the department. However, this is subject to section 153(6), which might have some rules about this.
