“ An incorporated association may, by writing under its common seal, empower a person, either generally or in respect of a specified matter or specified matters, as its agent or attorney to execute deeds on its behalf, and a deed signed by such an agent or attorney on behalf of the incorporated association and under his seal binds the incorporated association and has the same effect as if it were under the common seal of the incorporated association. ”

“ A contract or other document executed or purporting to have been executed under the common seal of an incorporated association is not invalid by reason only that a person attesting the affixing of the common seal was in any way, whether directly or indirectly, interested in that contract or other document or in the matter to which that contract or other document relates. ”
