18N Advance notice for voluntary appearances
(1)
Within a reasonable time before a person makes a voluntary appearance, the Ombudsman must advise the person of the nature of the matters in respect of which the person is to be asked questions.
(2)
Despite subsection (1), the Ombudsman is not required to advise the person if the Ombudsman forms the opinion on reasonable grounds that this may prejudice the conduct of the investigation to which the appearance relates or may be contrary to the public interest.
(3)
To avoid doubt, the Ombudsman is not required to give reasons for forming the opinion referred to in subsection (2).
