118: Status of delegations

You could also call this:

"What happens to jobs given by someone in charge when they leave or change their mind"

Illustration for Public Safety (Public Protection Orders) Act 2014

If you are given a job to do by someone in charge under section 117, you keep doing it until they say stop. When the person who gave you the job leaves their position, the job you were given still needs to be done, and it is now as if the new person in charge gave you the job. The person who gave you the job, or the person who took their place, can tell you to stop doing the job at any time by sending you a written notice.
