Powers of Attorney Ordinance

(1)
The donee of a power of attorney may, if he thinks
fit—
(a)
execute any instrument with his own signature and, where sealing is required, with his own seal; and
(b)
do any other thing in his own name,
by the authority of the donor of the power; and any document executed or thing done in that manner shall be as effective as if executed or done by the donee with the signature and seal, or, as the case may be, in the name, of the donor of the power.
(2)
For the avoidance of doubt it is hereby declared that an instrument may be executed on behalf of a person by a donee of a power of attorney either as provided in this section or as provided in any other Ordinance.
(3)
This section is without prejudice to a provision in any other Ordinance requiring an instrument to be executed by a person specified therein.
(4)
This section applies to powers of attorney whenever created.
