Contract formalities
42 Contract formalities
Insofar as the formalities of making, varying or discharging a contract are concerned, a person acting as authorised by a health service provider may make, vary or discharge a contract in the name of or on behalf of the health service provider in the same manner as if that contract were made, varied or discharged by a natural person.
The making or variation of a contract in accordance with subsection (1) is effectual in law and binds the health service provider and other parties to the contract.
Subsection (1) does not prevent a health service provider from making, varying or discharging the contract under its common seal.
