            (b)         in the case of a body corporate—the document is signed by a director of the body corporate or a person authorised by a director in writing to sign on behalf of the body corporate.

        (2)         A person must, if required by the Commission, produce the written authorisation to the Commission.

        (3)         If the Commission is satisfied that it is not practicable to obtain the signature of a person required by this Act to sign a document, the Commission may accept the document for registration without it being signed.
