Ministerial delegation
39 Ministerial delegation
The Minister may delegate a function or power of the Minister under this Act (other than this power of delegation) to any person (including a person for the time being performing particular duties or holding or acting in a specified position).
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 delegator to act in a matter; and
is revocable at will.
A function or power delegated under this section may, if the instrument of delegation so provides, be further delegated.
In legal proceedings, an apparently genuine certificate, purportedly signed by the Minister 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.
