143: Status of delegations

You could also call this:

"Who keeps doing a special job when the boss changes"

Illustration for Intellectual Disability (Compulsory Care and Rehabilitation) Act 2003

When someone is given a special job to do under section 142, they keep doing it until they are told to stop. If the person who gave them the job leaves their position, the job they were given still needs to be done, and it is like the new person in the position gave them the job. You can stop someone from doing a special job at any time by giving them a written notice, and the person who can do this is either the person who gave them the job or the person who took over that position.
