Chief Censor may delegate powers
87. Chief Censor may delegate powers---(1) The Chief Censor may, from
time to time, delegate any of his or her powers and functions under this
Act (other than this power of delegation) to the Deputy Chief Censor.
(2) Any such delegation may be made subject to such restrictions and
conditions as the Chief Censor thinks fit, and may be made either
generally or in relation to any particular case or class of cases.
(3) Subject to any restrictions or conditions imposed by the Chief
Censor, the Deputy Chief Censor may exercise or perform the delegated
powers in the same manner and with the same effect as if they had been
conferred by this section and not by delegation.
(4) Where the Deputy Chief Censor purports to act pursuant to any such
delegation, he or she shall be presumed to be acting in accordance with
the terms of the delegation in the absence of proof to the contrary.
(5) Any delegation under this section may be revoked at any time, and
no delegation of any power or function shall prevent the exercise of
that power or function by the Chief Censor.
(6) Until any such delegation is revoked, it shall continue in force
according to its tenor. In the event of the Chief Censor ceasing to hold
office, it shall continue to have effect as if made by the Chief
Censor's successor in office.
