94 Powers of attorney to consent to body part donations etc
under Powers of Attorney Act 1956
(1) This section applies to an enduring power of attorney in force
immediately before the commencement of this Act if the power of
attorney included a power to consent to a donation under the Powers
of Attorney Act 1956, section 13 (1) (b) (ii).
(2) Despite section 35 (b) (Things that cannot be lawfully done by
attorneys), the power of attorney continues to authorise the attorney
to consent to the donation.
