370CF Circumstances when investigation not required
If:
the Authority has carried out an investigation in respect of a particular kind of injury, disease or death; and
within 12 months after the Authority has, at the end of the investigation:
determined or amended a Statement of Principles; or
declared that it does not propose to make or amend a Statement of Principles;
a person or organisation asks the Authority under section 370CH to review:
some or all of the contents of the Statement of Principles; or
its decision not to make a Statement of Principles; and
the Authority thinks that there are no grounds for such a review;
the Authority may decide not to carry out an investigation in respect of that kind of injury, disease or death.
The Authority may decide not to carry out an investigation in respect of a request for a review of a kind mentioned in paragraph 370CH(2)(b) or (c) if:
the request does not state the grounds on which the review is sought; or
the Authority considers that the request does not identify sufficient relevant information:
to support the grounds on which the review is sought; or
to otherwise justify the review; or
the request is vexatious or frivolous.
If the Authority decides under subsection (1) or (2) not to carry out an investigation, it must inform the person or organisation in writing of the decision, stating the reasons for it.
