Protection against self-incrimination
51 Protection against self-incrimination
It is a reasonable excuse for a natural person to refuse or fail to give information or do any other thing that the person is required to do by or under this Part, if the giving of the information or the doing of that other thing would tend to incriminate the person.
Despite subsection (1), it is not a reasonable excuse for a natural person to—
refuse or fail to produce a document that the person is required to keep by or under this Act, if the production of the document would tend to incriminate the person; or
refuse or fail to give his or her name and residential address if the giving of the name and address would tend to incriminate the person.
