I move amendment No. 26:


In page 27, between lines 7 and 8, to insert the following:
“Legal Personality
22B. (a) Each Municipal District Council established in accordance with this section shall be a body corporate with perpetual succession and an official seal with a power to sue and be sued in its corporate name and to acquire, hold and dispose of land or an interest in land.
(b) Judicial notice shall be taken of the seal of a Municipal District Council and every document purporting to be an order or other instrument made by that council and to be sealed with its seal (purporting to be authenticated in the manner which shall be provided for by establishment order of the Minister on 2014 Establishment Day) shall be received in evidence and be deemed to be such order or instrument without further proof unless the contrary is shown.”.
