21T Independent Monitor may give directions about obtaining information
If a person given a notice under section 21S(2) does not comply with the notice, the Independent Monitor may give the person a direction requiring them to comply with the notice within a specified time.
Note for this subsection:
Section 33(1) requires that the person comply with the direction.
The Independent Monitor may give the direction despite any claim of confidence or privilege.
Note for this subsection:
See section 21W(1) in relation to legal professional privilege.
The direction may modify a requirement in the notice, including by requiring that a record or report that includes information the subject of legal professional privilege be given with that information redacted.
A direction may include a requirement that a person making a claim of legal professional privilege procure, and give to the Independent Monitor, independent legal advice as to the basis of the claim.
Compliance with a requirement described in subsection (4) is not a waiver of any legal professional privilege that applies.
