##### 7A Delegation by prescribed authorities
(1) A prescribed authority may delegate to any person all or any of the powers and functions of the prescribed authority under this Act or under the regulations, except this power of delegation, so that the delegate may exercise the powers and functions specified in the instrument of delegation.
(2) Where the exercise of any power or function by a prescribed authority, or the operation of any provision of this Act or of the regulations, is dependent upon the opinion, belief, or state of mind of the prescribed authority in relation to any matter, that power or function may be exercised by the delegate of the prescribed authority, or that provision may operate, as the case may be, upon the opinion, belief or state of mind of the delegate in relation to that matter.
(3) Every delegation under this section shall be revocable at will and no delegation shall prevent the exercise of any power or function by the prescribed authority.
(4) Any reference in this Act or in the regulations to a prescribed authority shall, in relation to any matter, be deemed to include a reference to a delegate of the prescribed authority exercising any power or function in relation to that matter.
