Crimes Act 1914

A person is not excused from producing a document under section 3ZQN or 3ZQO on the ground that to do so:

would contravene any other law; or

might tend to incriminate the person or otherwise expose the person to a penalty or other liability; or

would disclose material that is protected against disclosure by legal professional privilege or any other duty of confidence; or

would be otherwise contrary to the public interest.

However, neither:

the production of the document; nor

any information, document or thing obtained as a direct or indirect consequence of producing the document;

A person is not liable to any penalty by reason of his or her producing a document when required to do so under section 3ZQN or 3ZQO.

The fact that a person is not excused under subsection (1) from producing a document does not otherwise affect a claim of legal professional privilege that anyone may make in relation to that document.
