Burial and Cremation Act 2019

A regulator may, by written instrument, delegate the performance of his or her functions, or the exercise of his or her powers, under this Act, other than this power of delegation.

A regulator may, by written instrument, revoke wholly or in part any such delegation.

Notwithstanding any delegation under this section, a regulator may continue to exercise all or any of the functions or powers delegated.

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