Sport and Recreation New Zealand - Delegation by board

25: Effect of delegation

You could also call this:

"What happens when a board gives someone else the power to make decisions"

Illustration for Sport and Recreation New Zealand Act 2002

When a board delegates a task, you need to know what happens next. A delegation by a board means the board is giving someone else the power to make decisions. The effect of this delegation is that the person or group given the power can act on behalf of the board.

You should look at the rules that apply to the board to understand what they can delegate. The board's decisions can be affected by the delegation, so it is good to know what is happening. A law called the Crown Entities Act 2004 changed some rules about delegations, you can find more information about this law on the New Zealand legislation website.
