(7) The appointment ceases to have effect if the appointee resigns by writing signed and delivered to the appointer. (8) While the appointee is acting in the office— (a) the appointee has all the powers and functions of the holder of the office; and (b) this Law and other laws apply to the appointee as if the appointee were the holder of the office. (9) Anything done by or in relation to a person purporting to act in the office is not invalid merely because— (a) the occasion for the appointment had not arisen; or (b) the appointment had ceased to have effect; or (c) the occasion for the person to act had not arisen or had ceased. (10) If this Law authorises the appointer to appoint a person to act during a vacancy in the office, an appointment to act in the office may be made by the appointer whether or not an appointment has previously been made to the office. 28 Powers of appointment imply certain incidental powers (1) If this Law authorises or requires a person or body to appoint a person to an office— (a) the power may be exercised from time to time as occasion requires; and (b) the power includes— 2013 Act No. 4 Page 695
Heavy Vehicle National Law Amendment Act 2013 [s 12] (i) power to remove or suspend, at any time, a person appointed to the office; and (ii) power to appoint another person to act in the office if a person appointed to the office is removed or suspended; and (iii) power to reinstate or reappoint a person removed or suspended; and (iv) power to appoint a person to act in the office if it is vacant (whether or not the office has ever been filled); and (v) power to appoint a person to act in the office if the person appointed to the office is absent or is unable to discharge the functions of the office (whether because of illness or otherwise). (2) The power to remove or suspend a person under subsection (1)(b) may be exercised even if this Law provides that the holder of the office to which the person was appointed is to hold office for a specified period. (3) The power to make an appointment under subsection (1)(b) may be exercised from time to time as occasion requires. (4) An appointment under subsection (1)(b) may be expressed to have effect only in the circumstances specified in the instrument of appointment. 29 Delegation of functions (1) If this Law authorises a person or body to delegate a function, the person or body may, in accordance with this Law and any other applicable law, delegate the function to— (a) a person or body by name; or (b) a specified officer, or the holder of a specified office, by reference to the title of the office concerned. (2) The delegation may be— (a) general or limited; and (b) made from time to time; and Page 696 2013 Act No. 4
Heavy Vehicle National Law Amendment Act 2013 [s 12] (c) revoked, wholly or partly, by the delegator. (3) The delegation, or a revocation of the delegation, must be in, or evidenced by, writing signed by the delegator or, if the delegator is a body, by a person authorised by the body for the purpose. (4) A delegated function may be exercised only in accordance with any conditions to which the delegation is subject. (5) The delegate may, in the exercise of a delegated function, do anything that is incidental to the delegated function. (6) A delegated function that purports to have been exercised by the delegate is taken to have been properly exercised by the delegate unless the contrary is proved. (7) A delegated function that is properly exercised by the delegate is taken to have been exercised by the delegator. (8) If, when exercised by the delegator, a function is dependent on the delegator’s opinion, belief or state of mind, then, when exercised by the delegate, the function is dependent on the delegate’s opinion, belief or state of mind. (9) If— (a) the delegator is a specified officer or the holder of a specified office; and (b) the person who was the specified officer or holder of the specified office when the delegation was made ceases to be the holder of the office; then— (c) the delegation continues in force; and (d) the person for the time being occupying or acting in the office concerned is taken to be the delegator for the purposes of this section. (10) If— (a) the delegator is a body; and (b) there is a change in the membership of the body; then— 2013 Act No. 4 Page 697
Heavy Vehicle National Law Amendment Act 2013 [s 12] (c) the delegation continues in force; and (d) the body as constituted for the time being is taken to be the delegator for the purposes of this section. (11) If a function is delegated to a specified officer or the holder of a specified office— (a) the delegation does not cease to have effect merely because the person who was the specified officer or the holder of the specified office when the function was delegated ceases to be the officer or the holder of the office; and (b) the function may be exercised by the person for the time being occupying or acting in the office concerned. (12) A function that has been delegated may, despite the delegation, be exercised by the delegator. (13) The delegation of a function does not relieve the delegator of the delegator’s obligation to ensure that the function is properly exercised. (14) Subject to subsection (15), this section applies to a subdelegation of a function in the same way as it applies to a delegation of a function. (15) If this Law authorises the delegation of a function, the function may be subdelegated only if the Law expressly authorises the function to be subdelegated. 30 Exercise of powers between enactment and commencement (1) If a provision of this Law (the empowering provision ) that does not commence on its enactment would, had it commenced, confer a power— (a) to make an appointment; or (b) to make a statutory instrument of a legislative or administrative character; or (c) to do another thing; then— Page 698 2013 Act No. 4
Heavy Vehicle National Law Amendment Act 2013 [s 12] (d) the power may be exercised; and (e) anything may be done for the purpose of enabling the exercise of the power or of bringing the appointment, instrument or other thing into effect; before the empowering provision commences. (2) If a provision of a Queensland Act (the empowering provision ) that does not commence on its enactment would, had it commenced, amend a provision of this Law so that it would confer a power— (a) to make an appointment; or (b) to make a statutory instrument of a legislative or administrative character; or (c) to do another thing; then— (d) the power may be exercised; and (e) anything may be done for the purpose of enabling the exercise of the power or of bringing the appointment, instrument or other thing into effect; before the empowering provision commences. (3) If— (a) this Law has commenced and confers a power to make a statutory instrument (the basic instrument-making power ); and (b) a provision of a Queensland Act that does not commence on its enactment would, had it commenced, amend this Law so as to confer additional power to make a statutory instrument (the additional instrument-making power ); then— (c) the basic instrument-making power and the additional instrument-making power may be exercised by making a single instrument; and 2013 Act No. 4 Page 699
Heavy Vehicle National Law Amendment Act 2013 [s 12] (d) any provision of the instrument that required an exercise of the additional instrument-making power is to be treated as made under subsection (2). (4) If an instrument, or a provision of an instrument, is made under subsection (1) or (2) that is necessary for the purpose of— (a) enabling the exercise of a power mentioned in the subsection; or (b) bringing an appointment, instrument or other thing made or done under such a power into effect; the instrument or provision takes effect— (c) on the making of the instrument; or (d) on such later day (if any) on which, or at such later time (if any) at which, the instrument or provision is expressed to take effect. (5) If— (a) an appointment is made under subsection (1) or (2); or (b) an instrument, or a provision of an instrument, made under subsection (1) or (2) is not necessary for a purpose mentioned in subsection (4); the appointment, instrument or provision takes effect— (c) on the commencement of the relevant empowering provision; or (d) on such later day (if any) on which, or at such later time (if any) at which, the appointment, instrument or provision is expressed to take effect. (6) Anything done under subsection (1) or (2) does not confer a right, or impose a liability, on a person before the relevant empowering provision commences. (7) After the enactment of a provision mentioned in subsection (2) but before the provision’s commencement, this section applies as if the references in subsections (2) and (5) to the commencement of the empowering provision were references Page 700 2013 Act No. 4
Heavy Vehicle National Law Amendment Act 2013 [s 12] to the commencement of the provision mentioned in subsection (2) as amended by the empowering provision. (8) In the application of this section to a statutory instrument, a reference to the enactment of the instrument is a reference to the making of the instrument. Part 5 Distance, time and age 31 Matters relating to distance, time and age (1) In the measurement of distance for the purposes of this Law, the distance is to be measured along the shortest road ordinarily used for travelling. (2) If a period beginning on a given day, act or event is provided or allowed for a purpose by this Law, the period is to be calculated by excluding the day, or the day of the act or event, and— (a) if the period is expressed to be a specified number of clear days or at least a specified number of days—by excluding the day on which the purpose is to be fulfilled; and (b) in any other case—by including the day on which the purpose is to be fulfilled. (3) If the last day of a period provided or allowed by this Law for doing anything is not a business day in the place in which the thing is to be or may be done, the thing may be done on the next business day in the place. (4) If the last day of a period provided or allowed by this Law for the filing or registration of a document is a day on which the office is closed where the filing or registration is to be or may be done, the document may be filed or registered at the office on the next day that the office is open. 2013 Act No. 4 Page 701
Heavy Vehicle National Law Amendment Act 2013 [s 12] (5) If no time is provided or allowed for doing anything, the thing is to be done as soon as possible, and as often as the prescribed occasion happens. (6) If, in this Law, there is a reference to time, the reference is, in relation to the doing of anything in a jurisdiction, a reference to the legal time in the jurisdiction. (7) For the purposes of this Law, a person attains an age in years at the beginning of the person’s birthday for the age. Part 6 Effect of repeal, amendment or expiration 32 Time of Law ceasing to have effect If a provision of this Law is expressed— (a) to expire on a specified day; or (b) to remain or continue in force, or otherwise have effect, until a specified day; the provision has effect until the last moment of the specified day. 33 Repealed Law provisions not revived If a provision of this Law is repealed or amended by a Queensland Act, or a provision of a Queensland Act, the provision is not revived merely because the Queensland Act or the provision of the Queensland Act— (a) is later repealed or amended; or (b) later expires. 34 Saving of operation of repealed Law provisions (1) The repeal, amendment or expiry of a provision of this Law does not— Page 702 2013 Act No. 4
Heavy Vehicle National Law Amendment Act 2013 [s 12] (a) revive anything not in force or existing at the time the repeal, amendment or expiry takes effect; or (b) affect the previous operation of the provision or anything suffered, done or begun under the provision; or (c) affect a right, privilege or liability acquired, accrued or incurred under the provision; or (d) affect a penalty incurred in relation to an offence arising under the provision; or (e) affect an investigation, proceeding or remedy in relation to such a right, privilege, liability or penalty. (2) Any such penalty may be imposed and enforced, and any such investigation, proceeding or remedy may be begun, continued or enforced, as if the provision had not been repealed or amended or had not expired. 35 Continuance of repealed provisions If a Queensland Act repeals some provisions of this Law and enacts new provisions in substitution for the repealed provisions, the repealed provisions continue in force until the new provisions commence. 36 Law and amending Acts to be read as one This Law and all Queensland Acts amending this Law are to be read as one. Part 7 Instruments under Law 37 Schedule applies to statutory instruments (1) This Schedule applies to a statutory instrument, and to things that may be done or are required to be done under a statutory instrument, in the same way as it applies to this Law, and things that may be done or are required to be done under this 2013 Act No. 4 Page 703
Heavy Vehicle National Law Amendment Act 2013 [s 12] Law, except so far as the context or subject matter otherwise indicates or requires. (2) The fact that a provision of this Schedule refers to this Law and not also to a statutory instrument does not, by itself, indicate that the provision is intended to apply only to this Law. Part 8 Application to coastal waters 38 Application This Law has effect in and in relation to the coastal waters of this jurisdiction as if the coastal waters were part of this jurisdiction.
