Power of inspectors and police officers to require answers
30 Power of inspectors and police officers to require answers
An inspector or police officer may require a person whom the inspector or police officer suspects on reasonable grounds to have knowledge of matters in respect of which information is reasonably required for the purposes of the gaming and liquor legislation to answer questions in relation to those matters.
The Authority or NICC may, by notice in writing, require a corporation to nominate, in writing within the time specified in the notice, a director or officer of the corporation to be the corporation’s representative for the purpose of answering questions under this section.
Answers given by a person nominated under subsection (2) bind the corporation.
An inspector or police officer may, by notice given to a person, require the person to attend at a specified place and time to answer questions under this section if attendance at the place is reasonably required for the questions to be properly asked and answered.
The inspector or police officer may, in the notice under subsection (4) or in a subsequent notice, authorise the person to answer the questions using an audio link or audio visual link of a kind approved by the inspector or police officer.
If the questions are to be answered by the person using an audio link or audio visual link—
the place at which the person is required to attend is taken to be any place having adequate facilities for the answering of questions in that way at the time specified in the notice under subsection (4), and
the person must ensure the audio link or audio visual link is operated appropriately so the answers given to the questions are clear to the inspector or police officer.
