Persons signing in different capacities
 (5) For the purposes of this section, a person who is to sign a document in more than one capacity:
 (a) is treated as a different person in each such capacity they sign the document; and
 (b) may sign the document in some or all of those capacities by signing the document once, if the document:
 (i) requires or permits the person to do so; and
 (ii) states the capacities in which the person is signing the document.
Example 1: If a signature block in a document requires or permits a person to sign once as the sole director and sole company secretary of a company, the person may sign the document as the sole director and sole company secretary by signing that signature block.
Example 2: If a signature block in a document requires or permits a person to sign once on behalf of 2 companies as an agent for both those companies, the person may sign the document as an agent for both those companies by signing that signature block.
Example 3: A person who is to sign a document in their capacity as the director of one company and their capacity as the company secretary of another company must sign the document twice if:
(a) one signature block in the document requires or permits the person to sign as the director of the first company; and
(b) another signature block in the document requires or permits the person to sign as the company secretary of the second company.
