19 Notice of inquiry
The Commissioner commences an inquiry under section 16 or 17 by giving notice in accordance with subsection (2).
A notice under subsection (1) must:
be in writing; and
specify the day on which the inquiry commences (which must be the day on which the notice is given); and
specify the terms of reference for the inquiry; and
be given to the Minister.
The Commissioner must, as soon as practicable after giving the notice, cause the notice to be published on the Commissioner’s website unless the Commissioner is satisfied that doing so would adversely affect:
the proper conduct of the inquiry or any other inquiry under section 16 or 17; or
the preparation of a draft inquiry report or final inquiry report.
The Commissioner may, if the Commissioner considers it appropriate to do so, give the notice to any other person or body.
