Land Information Authority Act 2006

The Authority may delegate to a person a power or duty of the Authority under another provision of this Act or under any other Act.

The delegation must be in writing executed by the Authority.

If a person is not a member of the Authority’s board of management or a member of the Authority’s staff, a power or duty can only be delegated to the person under this section if the person has been approved for the purposes of this section by the Minister.

A delegation to a committee any member of which is not a member of the Authority’s board of management or a member of the Authority’s staff can only be made if the delegation has been approved by the Minister.

An approval under subsection (3) may be given in respect of —

a specified person or persons of a specified class; or

the holder or holders for the time being of a specified office or class of office.

The delegation may expressly authorise the delegate to further delegate the power or duty.

A person exercising or performing a power or duty that has been delegated to the person under, or as authorised under, this section is to be taken to do so in accordance with the terms of the delegation unless the contrary is shown.

Nothing in this section limits the ability of the Authority to perform a function through a member of its staff or an agent.
