Zoological Parks Board Act 1973

The Board may, by instrument in writing under seal, delegate to a member or an employee of the Board or an officer or employee of the Public Service or a public authority constituted under an Act the exercise or performance of such of the powers (other than this power of delegation), authorities, duties and functions conferred or imposed on the Board by or under this or any other Act as may be specified in the instrument of delegation, and may, by such an instrument, revoke wholly or in part any such delegation.

A power, authority, duty or function, the exercise or performance of which has been delegated under this section may, while the delegation remains unrevoked, be exercised or performed from time to time in accordance with the terms of the delegation.

A delegation under this section may be made subject to such conditions or such limitations as to the exercise or performance of any of the powers, authorities, duties or functions delegated, or as to time or circumstance, as may be specified in the instrument of delegation.

Notwithstanding any delegation under this section, the Board may continue to exercise or perform all or any of the powers, authorities, duties or functions delegated.

Any act or thing done or suffered by a delegate while acting in the exercise of a delegation under this section shall have the same force and effect as if the act or thing had been done or suffered by the Board and shall be deemed to have been done or suffered by the Board.

An instrument purporting to be signed by a delegate of the Board in his or her capacity as such a delegate shall in all courts and before all persons acting judicially be received in evidence as if it were an instrument executed by the Board under seal and, until the contrary is proved, shall be deemed to be an instrument signed by a delegate of the Board under this section.
