Self‑incrimination
41JC Self‑incrimination
A person is not excused from giving information or a document under section 41JB on the ground that to do so would tend to incriminate the person or expose the person to a penalty.
However, in the case of an individual:
the information given; or
the giving of the document; or
any information, document or thing obtained as a direct or indirect consequence of giving the information or document;
is not admissible in evidence in:
criminal proceedings against the individual, except proceedings under, or arising out of, subsection 41JB(4), (7) or (8); or
proceedings for a pecuniary penalty order against the individual for a contravention of a civil penalty provision, except civil proceedings under, or arising out of, section 41JBA.
