(3) The terms of this contract were as per the standard terms for a public service chief executive officer. (4) This contract expired on 2 February 2004. (5) Consultation regarding Mr Piper’s reappointment commenced on 2 May 2003. (6) The Minister for Justice is not a signatory to the contract. (7) Mr Piper and the Minister for Public Sector Management are the signatories.
