WESTERN AUSTRALIAN TREASURY CORPORATION ACT 1986 - SECT 6

6 .         Common seal, agents, attorneys and facsimiles of Corporation

        (1)         The common seal of the Corporation shall —

            (a)         be kept in such custody as the Corporation directs; and

            (b)         not be used except as authorised by the Corporation.

        (2)         When a document purporting to bear the common seal of the Corporation is produced before any court, judge or person acting judicially, that court, judge or person shall, unless the contrary is proved, presume that —

            (a)         that document bears that common seal; and

            (b)         that common seal was duly affixed to that document.

        (3)         The Corporation may, by writing under its common seal, empower a person, either generally or in respect of a specified matter or specified matters, as its agent or attorney to execute deeds or other instruments on its behalf, and a deed or other instrument executed by such an agent or attorney on behalf of the Corporation binds the Corporation and has the same effect as if it were under the common seal of the Corporation.

        (4)         For the purposes of this Act, the Corporation may make use of a facsimile of —

            (a)         its common seal; or

            (b)         the signature of an agent or attorney empowered to execute deeds or other instruments on its behalf under subsection (3),

                and a deed or other instrument purporting to evidence indebtedness on the part of the Corporation and to be endorsed with such a facsimile shall, until the contrary is shown, be deemed to have been sealed by it or signed by the agent or attorney, as the case requires.

        [Section 6 amended: No. 25 of 1998 s. 8.]
