text: Provided that the Speaker may, at the request of the Member, from time to time 
  
  extend that period for further periods of 30 days to enable the Member to pursue an 
  appeal against the decision, so, however, that extensions of time exceeding in the 
  aggregate 150 days shall not be given without the approval of the Assembly signified by 
  resolution. 
  
  (3) If, on the determination of any appeal, such circumstances continue to exist 
  
  and no further appeal is open to the Member of the Assembly, or if, by reason of the 
  expiration of any period for entering an appeal or notice thereof or the refusal of leave to 
  appeal or for any other reason, it ceases to be open to the Member to appeal, he or she 
  shall forthwith vacate his or her seat. 
  
  (4) If at any time before the Member of the Assembly vacates his or her seat 
  
  such circumstances as aforesaid cease to exist, his or her seat shall not become vacant 
  by reason of those circumstances, and he or she may resume the performance of his or 
  her functions as a Member of the Assembly.
