157 CEO may enter into agreements for performance of functions
The CEO may enter into an agreement providing for the CEO’s functions under this Act that are described in the agreement to be performed on behalf of the CEO.
The agreement may be with the Commissioner of Police, a local government, or any other person or body, whether or not the person or body has itself functions of a public nature.
A function described in the agreement may be performed —
in accordance with the agreement; and
on and subject to the terms of the agreement.
If the performance of a function is dependent on the opinion, belief or state of mind of the CEO it may be performed under the agreement on the opinion, belief or state of mind of the person or body with whom the agreement is made or another person provided for in the agreement.
For the purposes of this Act or any other written law, an act or thing done by, to, by reference to, or in relation to a person or body in connection with the performance by that person or body under the agreement of a function of the CEO is as effectual as if it had been done by, to, by reference to, or in relation to, the CEO.
