24.—(1) The common seal of the Academy may be broken, changed, altered and made anew as the Senate thinks fit. (2) All deeds, documents and other instruments requiring the seal of the Academy must be sealed with the common seal of the Academy. (3) Every instrument to which the common seal is affixed must be signed by a member and must be countersigned by any 2 members of the Senate duly authorised by the Senate for that purpose, and such signing is sufficient evidence that the seal was duly and properly affixed and that the seal is the lawful seal of the Academy. (4) The Senate may, by resolution or otherwise, appoint an officer of the Academy or any other agent, either generally or in a particular case, to execute or sign on behalf of the Academy any agreement or other instrument not under seal in relation to any matter coming within the powers of the Academy. (5) Section 11 of the Registration of Deeds Act 1988 does not apply to any instrument purporting to have been executed under subsection (2).
