Education and Training Reform Act 2006

The Adult, Community and Further Education Board established under the Adult, Community and Further Education Act 1991 continues in operation under and subject to this Act.

The Board—

is a body corporate with perpetual succession; and

has a common seal; and

may sue and be sued in its corporate name; and

is capable of acquiring, holding, dealing with or disposing of property for the purpose of performing its functions and exercising its powers; and

is capable of doing and suffering anything that a body corporate may by law do and suffer, and that is necessary or expedient for performing its functions and exercising its powers.

The common seal must be kept as directed by the Board and must only be used as authorised by the Board.

All courts must take judicial notice of the imprint of the common seal on a document and, until the contrary is proved, must presume that the document was properly sealed.
