13AL Summary explaining police detention decision to be given to detained person's lawyer
S. 13AL inserted by No. 32/2018 s. 9.
A person who is being detained under section 13AH may request a police officer who is detaining them to arrange for a copy of the summary mentioned in section 13AK(1) to be given to a lawyer acting for the person in relation to the detention.
The police officer must make arrangements for a copy of the summary to be given to the lawyer as soon as practicable after the request is made.
Note
A contravention of this subsection may be an offence under section 13AZZX.
Without limiting subsection (2), the copy of the summary may be sent to the lawyer by electronic communication.
To avoid doubt, subsection (2) does not entitle the lawyer to be given a copy of, or see, a document other than the summary.
