87   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.
