Regional Development Commissions Act 1993

A document is duly executed by a commission, if —

the common seal of that commission is affixed to the document in accordance with subsections (2) and (3); or

the document is signed on behalf of that commission by a board member or members or an officer or officers of that commission in accordance with an authorisation given under subsection (4).

The common seal of a commission must not be affixed to any document except by resolution of the board of that commission.

The common seal of a commission is to be affixed to a document in the presence of the chairperson and one other board member and each of them is to sign the document to attest that the common seal was so affixed.

A board may, in writing under its common seal, authorise a member or members of that board, or an officer or officers of the relevant commission to sign documents on behalf of that commission, either generally or subject to such conditions or restrictions as may be specified by the board in the authorisation.

A document purporting to be executed in accordance with this section is presumed to be duly executed until the contrary is shown.

When a document is produced bearing a seal purporting to be the common seal of a commission, it is to be presumed that the seal is the common seal of that commission until the contrary is shown.
