Valuers Bill

Valuers Registration Board and New Zealand Institute of Valuers - Valuers Registration Board

64: Valuer-General may appoint person to attend in their place

You could also call this:

"The Valuer-General can choose someone to attend a meeting for them if they are away."

If the Valuer-General is going to be away from a Board meeting, they can choose someone to go in their place. You need to know this person is a public service employee who works under the Valuer-General. When this person attends the meeting, they are treated like a member of the Board for all purposes. While this person is at the meeting, they have the same rights as a Board member. However, they cannot be the chairperson of the meeting because they are only attending on behalf of the Valuer-General. The Valuer-General is the one who picks this person to attend the meeting. This means the person attending the meeting can participate fully, but they do not get to lead the meeting. You should understand that this person is only attending because the Valuer-General is away. The Valuer-General has the power to choose who attends the meeting in their place.

Valuers Registration Board

64Valuer-General may appoint person to attend in their place

This section applies if the Valuer-General will be absent from a meeting of the Board.
The Valuer-General may authorise any public service employee under their control (A) to attend the meeting in their place.
While A is attending a meeting of the Board under this section, A must be treated for all purposes as being a member of the Board.
However, A is not the chairperson of the meeting because of the fact that A attends as the deputy of the Valuer-General.
