225 Execution of documents by Commission
The Commission is to have a common seal.
A document is duly executed by the Commission if —
the common seal of the Commission is affixed to it in accordance with subsections (3) and (4); or
it is signed on behalf of the Commission by a person or persons authorised to do so under subsection (5).
The common seal of the Commission is not to be affixed to any document except as authorised by the Commission.
The common seal of the Commission is to be affixed to a document in the presence of the Commissioner or Deputy Commissioner, who is to sign the document to attest that the common seal was so affixed.
The Commission may, by writing under its common seal, authorise an officer of the Commission to sign documents on behalf of the Commission, either generally or subject to conditions or restrictions specified in the authorisation.
A document purporting to be executed in accordance with this section is to be presumed to be duly executed unless the contrary is shown.
When a document is produced bearing a seal purporting to be the common seal of the Commission, it is to be presumed that the seal is the common seal of the Commission unless the contrary is shown.
