Dealings between statutory entities and other persons
(1)
A statutory entity may not assert against a person dealing with the entity that—
(a)
(b)
a person held out by the statutory entity to be a member, office holder,
chief executive, employee, or agent of the statutory entity (as the case
may be)—
(i)
has not been duly appointed in that capacity or has ceased to be
appointed in that capacity; or
(ii)
does not have the authority to exercise a power which, given the
nature of the statutory entity, a person appointed to that capacity
customarily has authority to exercise; or
(iii)
does not have the authority to exercise a power that the statutory
entity holds him or her out as having; or
a document issued on behalf of the entity by a member, office holder,
chief executive, employee, or agent of the entity with actual or usual
authority to issue the document is not valid or genuine.
(2)
However, a statutory entity may assert any of those matters if the person deal‐
ing with the statutory entity had, or ought reasonably to have had, knowledge
of the matter.
(3)
Nothing in this section affects a person’s right to apply, in accordance with the
law, for judicial review.
