12A Commissioner may delegate
The
Commissioner may delegate any functions, powers or duties of the
Commissioner under this Act (except this power of delegation)—
to a public sector employee; or
to a member or employee of a council; or
to any other person.
A delegation under this section—
must be by instrument in writing; and
may be absolute or conditional; and
does not derogate from the power of the Commissioner to act in any matter; and
is revocable at will by the Commissioner.
Where at any time before the commencement of the Highways
Act Amendment Act 1979 the Commissioner conferred, or purported to confer, upon any other person an authority to act on the Commissioner's behalf, that authority shall be deemed to have been lawfully conferred.
