reappointed to the same position under section 119E of the principal Act.

(2)

The reappointment (in the period specified in subsection (1)) of a person, to whom this section applies, to the position of chief executive officer of a local authority is not invalidated, and is deemed never to have been invalidated, by reason of—

the term of that person’s appointment exceeding, as a result of his or her reappointment, the maximum term of 5 years permitted by section 119E of the principal Act; or

(b)

the vacancy or prospective vacancy in the position not having been notified in accordance with section 119I of the principal Act before the reappointment was made.

(3)

Anything done by a person to whom this section applies is declared to be, and to have always been, as valid as it would have been if that person had been validly reappointed to the position of chief executive officer of the local authority.
