Allocation of handling of disclosure
337C Allocation of handling of disclosure
If a disclosure that qualifies for protection under this Part is made (other than a disclosure to a lawyer that qualifies for protection under this Part because of subsection 337A(4)), the person to whom the disclosure is made must allocate the handling of the disclosure to one or more authorised officials (which may be or include the person).
The person must use his or her best endeavours to decide the allocation within 14 days after the disclosure is made.
The person may, after making a decision under subsection (1) or this subsection allocating the handling of the disclosure to one or more authorised officials, decide to allocate the handling of the disclosure to one or more other authorised officials.
For the purposes of deciding an allocation, the person may obtain information from such persons, and make such inquiries, as the person thinks fit.
