Illustration for Incorporated Societies Act 2022

You can do tasks that are given to you by someone else in the same way as if the law gave them to you directly. When you do these tasks, they have the same effect as if the law gave them to you. You are assumed to be doing the tasks correctly unless there is evidence that says otherwise.
