Contracts by public officer
In any contract or other document, signed, executed or made by the Chief Executive or
            by any public officer on behalf of the Chief Executive or the Government or of any
            Government department, it shall not be necessary to name the Chief Executive or such
            public officer, but it shall be sufficient to name the office held by the Chief
            Executive or such public officer, and the Chief Executive or public officer shall be
            deemed to be a party thereto as if the Chief Executive or such public officer were a
