28A Nominees of corporations or partnerships
(1) A corporation or partnership may, in writing, appoint an individual to
be a nominee if the individual—
(a) meets any eligibility requirements prescribed by regulation; and
(b) is licensed in the construction occupation and occupation class
(if any) appropriate for each of the construction services for
which the individual is to be responsible; and
(c) agrees in writing to the appointment.
(2) If the nominee is to be responsible for the adequate supervision of
only some of the construction services to be provided by the
corporation or partnership, the appointment must state the services
for which the nominee is responsible.
(3) A nominee of a corporation or partnership for a construction service,
construction occupation or occupation class automatically stops being
a nominee for the service, occupation or class if the nominee stops
being eligible to be appointed as a nominee for the service, occupation
or class.
Satnam is a class A builder and is the appointed nominee for a corporation that
provides construction services. The registrar applies to the ACAT for an
occupational discipline order and the ACAT orders the cancellation of Satnam’s
class A builders licence. The cancellation of the licence means that Satnam is not
eligible to be a nominee and his appointment as a nominee automatically ends.
There is no need for Satnam to resign as nominee or for the corporation to revoke
his appointment.
