(2) ONRSR may, by instrument under ONRSR's common seal, authorise an employee of ONRSR (whether nominated by name or by office or title) or any other person to execute documents on behalf of ONRSR subject to conditions and limitations (if any) specified in the instrument of authority.
(3) Without limiting subsection (2), an authority may be given so as to authorise 2 or more persons to execute documents jointly on behalf of ONRSR.
(4) A document is duly executed by ONRSR if--
(a) the common seal of ONRSR is affixed to the document in accordance with this section; or
(b) the document is signed on behalf of ONRSR by a person or persons in accordance with an authority conferred under this section.
