It is not unusual for sequestration related forms to be signed by someone on behalf of a trustee using the “p.p.” style.
The use of "p.p." does not imply the existence of a particular legal capacity or formal delegation of powers on the part of a party signing on behalf of someone else. It simply shows that [X] has signed on behalf of the writer. Per procurationem literally means “through the agency of”, but denotes an informal power of agency rather than anything else. The forms which are signed in this way do not have to be in self-proving form.
This form of signing for sequestration related forms being submitted to the ROI is acceptable. This is primarily on the basis that the trustees or insolvency practitioners who are submitting these forms are well placed to determine that this is acceptable. It is entirely reasonable for the Keeper to rely on their expertise in this area.
Where a CAJR officer is unsure that the signing of a form using the "p.p." method is acceptable they should refer to the CAJR team leader in the first instance, who may seek advice from the Registration Practice team if necessary.
