Besides the said ex-officio Judges and ordinary Judges, it shall be lawful for Her Majesty (if she shall think fit) to appoint, under Her Royal Sign Manual, as additional Judges of the Court of Appeal, any persons who, having held the office of Lord Chancellor or of Chief Justice, Master of the Rolls, . . . or Chief Baron of the Exchequer in Ireland, shall signify in writing their willingness to serve as such additional Judges.

The ordinary and additional Judges of the Court of Appeal shall be styled Lords Justices of Appeal. All the Judges of the said Court shall have in all respects, save as in this Act is otherwise expressly provided, equal power, authority, and jurisdiction.

Whenever the office of an ordinary Judge of the Court of Appeal becomes vacant, a new Judge may be appointed thereto by Her Majesty by Letters Patent, as provided by the Chancery Appeal Court (Ireland) Act, 1856.

The Lord Chancellor for the time being shall be President of the Court of Appeal. Except in matters which are by this Act, or by some other Act, specially reserved to the Lord Chancellor, he shall not be bound or required to exercise any of the functions of a Judge of the High Court, or of the Chancery Division of the same, unless he shall, by special order, direct that any matter shall be disposed of by himself, but all such matters shall be disposed of by one of the other Judges of the Chancery Division, and the Lord Chancellor shall in relation to such matters exercise only the functions of a Judge of the Court of Appeal.
