Energy Services Corporations Act 1995

The board may, from time to time, appoint a person to act in the office of chief executive officer during the illness or absence of the chief executive officer.

The board may remove a person from office as acting chief executive officer, at any time, for any or no reason and without notice.

A person, while acting in the office of chief executive officer:

has all the functions of the chief executive officer and is taken to be the chief executive officer, and

is entitled to be paid such remuneration (including travelling and subsistence allowances) as the board may determine.

For the purposes of this clause, a vacancy in the office of a chief executive officer is regarded as an absence from office.

Clause 5 of Schedule 9 to the State Owned Corporations Act 1989 does not apply to an acting chief executive officer of an energy services corporation.
