1 The Registrar-General or any other person charged with keeping books or registers is not required, solely because of the provisions in this subpart, to change the name of the Board, the members of the Board, or the Whakatōhea Fisheries Trust to the names of the trustees of Te Tāwharau o Te Whakatōhea in the books or registers or in a document.

2 If the trustees of Te Tāwharau o Te Whakatōhea present an instrument to a registrar or other person, the presentation of that instrument is, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, sufficient proof that the property is vested in the trustees, as specified in the instrument.

a) be executed or purport to be executed by the trustees of Te Tāwharau o Te Whakatōhea; and

b) relate to assets or liabilities owned, controlled, or held, wholly or in part, by the Board or the Whakatōhea Fisheries Trust immediately before the commencement of this Act; and

c) be accompanied by a certificate given by the trustees of Te Tāwharau o Te Whakatōhea or their solicitor stating that the property was vested in the trustees by or under this Act.
