Acting directors
14 Acting directors
In this section, absent means – absent from duty; or absent from Australia; or otherwise unable to perform the functions of the office of director.
The Minister may appoint a person to act as a director if the chairperson or another director referred to in section 8(1)(c), (d) or (e) is absent.
The appointment of a person to act as a director if the chairperson is absent is not an appointment to the position of chairperson.
Except as otherwise provided in this section, this Act applies to an appointment under subsection (2) as if it were the appointment of a director.
While a person appointed under subsection (2) is acting as a director that person is taken to be a director.
The appointment of a person to act as a director terminates when the absent chairperson or director resumes the performance of his or her functions as director.
