Illustration for Crown Entities Act 2004

If you are looking at a board of a statutory entity, you might wonder what happens if there is an empty seat. The powers and functions of the entity are not changed by any vacancy in the board's membership. This means the entity can still do its job even if there is a vacancy on its board.
