ment
(1)
In this Constitution, unless a contrary intention appears:
(a)
(b)
(2)
any reference to a power of appointment to an
office shall be construed as including a reference to
the power to appoint a person to act in or perform
the functions of that office;
any reference to the holder of an office by a term
designating his or her office shall be construed as
including a reference to any person for the time
being lawfully acting in or performing the functions
of that office.
Where in this Constitution power is vested in any person or
authority to appoint any person to act in or perform the
functions of any office if the holder thereof is himself or
herself unable to perform those functions, no such
appointment shall be called in question on the ground that
the holder of the office was not unable to perform those
functions.
