Commissions of Inquiry Act 1995

If a person refuses to prepare or produce a document or statement as required under section 22 or 23 on the grounds that the document or statement, or the information contained in the document or statement, is protected by privilege –

the Commission may require the production of the document or statement to assess whether privilege so applies; and the production of the document or statement to the Commission, or the use of the document or statement by the Commission, does not affect whether the document or statement is protected by privilege in any other circumstances.
