A proxy can only make a proxy decision if the proxy —
remains eligible for appointment under section 28; and
is not prevented under this or another Act from acting under the directive.
If a proxy asks a registered practitioner to deny health care and the registered practitioner has not already seen the directive, the registered practitioner shall ask the proxy to produce it before complying with the proxy's request.
The directive may be produced by giving a hard copy of a certified copy of the directive or, under Part II of the Electronic Transactions Act (2003 Revision), sending an electronic record of a certified copy of the directive.
Until the directive is so produced, the registered practitioner may continue to provide the directive-maker with the health care that the practitioner would have provided had the directive-maker not made a directive.
