Do you have a sample of how Murdoch signs documents?How Murdoch executes (or signs) a document will depend on whether the law, or the other party to the document or agreement, requires it to sign formally, i.e. under seal, or informally. For more information in this regard, refer to our FAQ on When does the University have to sign with its official seal?
The linked Sample Execution Clauses document provides the standard format that you should use. Informal execution If Murdoch does not need to sign using its official seal, i.e. informal execution is sufficient, anyone with appropriate delegated authority can sign on its behalf. Please refer to the Office of Financial Services Policy & Procedures Manual, section 510 for further details on delegated authorities. The linked Sample Execution Clauses document provides the standard format that you should use. Companies signing documents If a company is signing a document, the linked Sample Execution Clauses document provides the standard format that you should use. Do not accept a document signed in a less formal way, without first consulting Legal & Governance. What about other types of entities? Other types of entities, e.g. Government departments and agencies, local councils, associations or institutions (whether incorporated or not), will often require a special form of signature/execution clause. You should ask the relevant party to provide a sample of their standard signature or execution clause and seek advice from Legal Services to make sure that the signature on the document is valid and properly binds the other party.
