Public Prosecutions Act 1994

If the Director makes a special decision contrary to the advice of the other two members of the Director's Committee, he or she must as soon as practicable submit to the Attorney-General, for laying before Parliament, a statement in writing setting out that decision and the reason or reasons for it.

The Director may, at the time of submitting a statement to the Attorney-General under subsection (1), inform the Attorney-General in writing that in his or her opinion the interests of justice require that the statement not be laid before Parliament until all proceedings in relation to the matter (including proceedings by way of appeal from, or otherwise arising out of, proceedings in relation to the matter) are determined or discontinued.

If the Director acts under subsection (2) in relation to a matter, he or she must inform the Attorney-General in writing that all proceedings in relation to that matter have been determined or discontinued within 7 days after that determination or discontinuance occurring.
