Health and Disability Commissioner Act 1994

Miscellaneous provisions - Delegations

70: Delegate to produce evidence of authority

You could also call this:

"Prove you have permission to do a job given by a boss"

Illustration for Health and Disability Commissioner Act 1994

If you are given a job to do by the Commissioner, the Director of Proceedings, or the Director of Advocacy, you must show proof that you have the authority to do that job when someone asks you to. This is because you are using a power that was given to someone else, and you need to show that you are allowed to use it. You can find more information about how this power was given in section 68(4) or (5).
