Record of examination
526 Record of examination
Except as provided by section 522, a record of an examination may be used in proceedings against the person examined, but this does not preclude the admission of other written or oral evidence.
A person examined is, on written application made to the investigator, entitled to a free copy of the record of examination.
The Registrar may give an Australian legal practitioner a copy of a record of examination made by an investigator if the Registrar is satisfied the practitioner is conducting, or is in good faith contemplating, proceedings about affairs of the co-operative to which the record relates.
An Australian legal practitioner must not—
use a copy of a record of examination otherwise than for the preparation for, institution of, or conduct of, proceedings; or
publish or communicate the record or part of it for another purpose.
Maximum penalty—$6,000.
