30. Power to delegate trusts

A trustee may, where it is necessary for the proper administration of the trust notwithstanding any rule of law or equity to the contrary, by power of attorney or any other written instrument delegate to any person outside Brunei

Section 3 of the Powers of Attorney Act (Chapter 13) shall not apply to a power of attorney executed pursuant to subsection ( 1].

In favour of any person dealing with the delegate, any act done or instrument executed by the delegate shall, notwithstanding that the power has been revoked by the act of the trustee or by his death or otherwise, be as valid and effectual as if the trustee were alive and of full capacity and had himself done such act or executed such instrument, unless such person had actual notice of the revocation of the power before such act was done or instrument executed and provided that such person, having knowledge that he is dealing with a delegate has obtained from the delegate a written declaration that the delegate has received no notice of revocation howsoever arising of his power.

For the purpose of exercising the powers delegated to him, the delegate may exercise any of the powers of executing the trusts conferred on the trustee as trustee by law or by the trust instrument, including power for the purpose of the transfer of securities himself to delegate to an attorney a power of transfer but not including the power of delegation conferred by this section.

The fact that it appears from any power given under this section or otherwise that in dealing with any securities the delegate of the power is acting in the execution of a trust shall not be deemed for any purpose to affect any person in whose books the securities are inscribed or registered with any notice of the trust.
