82: Registrar may delegate functions, duties, or powers to clerk or other officer of Court Martial

You could also call this:

"The Registrar can pass on some tasks to a clerk or another Court Martial officer."

Illustration for Court Martial Act 2007

The Registrar can give some of their jobs to a clerk or another officer of the Court Martial. You can find out who these officers are by looking at section 79(2). The Registrar cannot give away jobs that the Chief Judge gave them. The Registrar can decide how the clerk or officer does these jobs. They can also take back these jobs at any time. This does not stop the Registrar from doing these jobs themselves. When a clerk or officer is given a job, they can do it as if it was given to them directly. If it seems like they are doing a job that was given to them, you can assume they are doing it correctly unless you have evidence that says otherwise.

  1. The Registrar may, in writing, either generally or particularly, delegate to a clerk or any other officer of the Court Martial appointed under section 79(2) any of the Registrar's functions, duties, and powers, except—

  2. any function, power, or duty delegated to the Registrar by the Chief Judge; and
    1. this power of delegation.

      1. A delegation—

        1. may be made subject to any restrictions and conditions that the Chief Judge or the Registrar thinks fit; and
          1. is revocable at any time, in writing; and

              1. A clerk or any other officer of the Court Martial to whom any functions, duties, or powers are delegated may perform and exercise them in the same manner and with the same effect as if they had been conferred on him or her directly by this Act and not by delegation.
