Administration - Functions and powers of chief executive
124: Chief executive may take or defend proceedings on behalf of any party
You could also call this:
“The boss of a government department used to be allowed to go to court for anyone involved in a tenancy dispute, but this rule no longer exists.”
This part of the law has been removed. It used to talk about how the chief executive could take part in legal matters for people involved in residential tenancies. However, since 11 February 2021, this section no longer exists in the Residential Tenancies Act 1986. The government made this change through the Residential Tenancies Amendment Act 2020.
