       (1)    In this section:

       eligible entity means any of the following:

(a)    an officer or member of staff of the University;

(b)    a body or other entity of the University;

(c)    if authorised under arrangements with the ACT—an authority, officer, employee or contractor of the ACT.

       (2)    The designated authority may, in writing, delegate any or all of the authority's functions under this instrument to an eligible entity.

       (3)    If, under subsection (2), the designated authority delegates a function to an eligible entity:

(a)    the eligible entity may, in writing, subdelegate the function to another eligible entity; and

(b)    the function may, in writing, be further subdelegated to a different eligible entity (or successively further subdelegated to different eligible entities);
if the delegation states that the function is a function that may be subdelegated and any conditions, limitations or directions stated in the delegation for the subdelegation or further subdelegation of the function are complied with.

       (4)    In exercising functions under a delegation or subdelegation, the delegate or subdelegate must comply with any directions of the designated authority and, for a subdelegation, the subdelegator of the function.

       (5)    The following sections of the Acts Interpretation Act 1901 (Cwlth) apply, with all necessary changes, in relation to a subdelegation in a corresponding way to the way in which they apply in relation to a delegation:

(b)    section 34AB (Effect of delegation);

(c)    section 34A (Exercise of powers and performance of functions or duties that depend upon the opinion etc. of delegates).
