Withdrawal of complaint

In force

(1)

If a complainant withdraws a complaint, the board need not take any further action about the complaint.

(2)

(a)

investigating, or continuing to investigate, the matter of the complaint; or

(b)

authorising an investigator to investigate, or continue to investigate, the matter of the complaint.

(3)

In deciding whether to act as mentioned in subsection (2), the board must have regard to the main objects of this Act and the grounds for disciplining a registered professional engineer.

Note—

For the grounds for disciplining a registered professional engineer, see section 36.
