STOCK DISEASES (NOMINATIONS AND ELECTIONS) REGULATION 2000 - REG 27

27 Enrolment of representatives of stock owners

(1) If, in the opinion of the returning officer, cattle are owned and an animal health rate has been paid:

(a) on behalf of a corporation--the corporation may be taken to be enrolled, or to apply for enrolment, in the relevant final roll for an election only if a nominee of the corporation is so enrolled, or so applies for enrolment, in that roll as the representative of the corporation, or

(b) on behalf of a partnership--the partnership may be taken to be enrolled, or to apply for enrolment, in the relevant final roll for an election only if a nominee of the partnership is so enrolled, or so applies for enrolment, in that roll as the representative of the partnership, or

(c) by trustees or by legal personal representatives (whether as agents, administrators or executors or otherwise) on behalf of a person or the estate of a person--the person or estate may be taken to be enrolled, or to apply for enrolment, in the relevant final roll for an election if, and only if, a nominee of those trustees or representatives is so enrolled, or so applies for enrolment, in that roll as the representative of the person or estate.

(2) A nominee of a corporation, partnership, person or estate does not need to have the prescribed qualifications but must be a natural person who is not already enrolled in the relevant final roll for the election in some other capacity.

Note: For example, a person is not eligible to be nominated as the representative of a corporation if the person is already enrolled as the representative of another corporation, or if the person is already enrolled as a stock owner in his or her own right. A nominee must be an individual, not a body corporate or other legal entity.

(3) A representative of a corporation, partnership, person or estate is taken to be a stock owner for the purposes of enrolment and of any election in which the corporation, partnership, person or estate is qualified to vote.

(4) In this clause, a reference to a partnership includes a reference to any group of persons who, in the opinion of the returning officer, are engaged in a single enterprise in raising cattle.

(5) In forming such an opinion in respect of a group of persons, the returning officer may ignore the existence of any legal entity that consists of or includes persons who form part of the group.
