Article K12 Authentication of documents

Any notice, order or other document which the Authority is authorised or required by or under any enactment to give, make or issue may be signed on behalf of the Authority by the proper officer of the Authority.

Any document purporting to bear the signature of the proper officer of the Authority shall be deemed, until the contrary is proved, to have been duly given, made or issued by the Authority.

Where any enactment or instrument made under an enactment makes, in relation to any document or class of documents, provision with respect to the matters dealt with by one of the two foregoing paragraphs, that paragraph shall not apply in relation to that document or class of documents.

In paragraph (2) the word “signature” includes a facsimile of a signature by whatever process reproduced.
