An Act to amend the Accident Compensation Act 1982

BE IT ENACTED by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

2 Deputy Managing Directors

(1)

The principal Act is hereby amended by repealing section 12, and substituting the following section:

“12

“(1)

The Corporation may from time to time appoint as officers of the Corporation one or more Deputy Managing Directors.

“(2)

On the occurrence from any cause of a vacancy in the office of the Managing Director (whether by reason of death, resignation, or otherwise), and so long as that vacancy continues, the Corporation shall appoint one of the Deputy Managing Directors to have and to exercise all the functions, duties, and powers of the Managing Director.

“(3)

Each Deputy Managing Director shall have and may exercise such of the powers, duties, and functions of the Managing Director as the Managing Director may delegate to him either generally or in any particular case.

“(4)

The fact that a Deputy Managing Director exercises any power, duty, or function pursuant to this section, shall, in the absence of proof to the contrary, be sufficient evidence of his authority to do so.

“(5)

Every delegation under this section shall be revocable at will, and no such delegation shall prevent the exercise of any power by the Managing Director.”

(2)

The principal Act is hereby consequentially amended by omitting from—

(a)

The definition of the expression “Deputy Managing Director” in section 2(1); and

(b)

The proviso to section 13(1); and

(c)

the words “the Deputy Managing Director”, and substituting in each case the words “any Deputy Managing Director”.

This Act is administered by the Accident Compensation Corporation.
