Pearling Act 1990

A Joint Authority may issue from time to time to a person to whom it has under section 50 delegated any of its powers under this Act a policy statement consisting of guidelines relating to matters considered by the Joint Authority to be of significance in relation to the provisions of this Part.

A policy statement issued under this section may at any time be amended or revoked by the Joint Authority which issued it (whether or not that Joint Authority is at the time of amendment or revocation constituted by the persons constituting that Joint Authority at the time when that policy statement was issued), and continues in force notwithstanding any change in the membership of the Joint Authority.

A delegate under section 50 shall, in the exercise of the powers conferred on him or her by the delegation concerned, comply with any policy statement issued to him or her under this section.

Nothing in this section shall be construed as authorising a Joint Authority to issue a policy statement that is inconsistent with any provision of this Act.
