4. Common seal

The Board must have a common seal and that seal may from time to time be broken, changed, altered and made anew as the Board considers fit.

Subject to subsection (3), all deeds, documents and other instruments requiring the seal of the Board must be sealed with the seal of the Board in the presence of the Chairperson, or the Deputy Chairperson, or a member of the Board, and an officer of the Board authorised by the Board in that behalf, who must sign every such deed, document or other instrument to which the seal is affixed, and the signing is sufficient evidence that the seal was duly and properly affixed and that it is the lawful seal of the Board.

All deeds, documents and other instruments which relate to the sale, lease, assignment, mortgage or assurance whatsoever of any premises sold under the provisions of this Act may be sealed with the seal of the Board in the presence of any officer of the Board duly authorised by the Board to act in that behalf who must sign every such deed, document or other instrument to which the seal is affixed, and the signing is sufficient evidence that the seal was duly and properly affixed and that it is the lawful seal of the Board.

Section 11 of the Registration of Deeds Act 1988 does not apply to any instrument purporting to have been executed under subsection (2) or (3).
