Delegation
6 Delegation
The
Minister or a Competent Authority may delegate a power or function vested in or conferred on the Minister or Competent Authority (as the case may be) under this Act—
to a particular person; or
to the person for the time being occupying a particular office or position.
A power or function delegated under this section may, if the instrument of delegation so provides, be further delegated.
A delegation—
may be absolute or conditional; and
does not derogate from the power of the delegator to act in a matter; and
is revocable at will by the delegator.
In any legal proceedings an apparently genuine certificate, purportedly signed by the Minister or a Competent Authority, containing particulars of a delegation under this section, will, in the absence of proof to the contrary, be accepted as proof that the delegation was made in accordance with the particulars.
