Examination of involved person
429 Examination of involved person
A legal practitioner acting for an involved person —
may attend an examination of the involved person by an investigator; and
may, to the extent that the investigator permits, address the investigator and examine the involved person.
An involved person is not excused from answering a question asked by the investigator even if seeking to be excused on the ground of possible self incrimination.
If an involved person answers a question of an investigator after having claimed possible self incrimination by doing so, neither the question nor the answer is admissible in evidence in any criminal proceedings other than —
proceedings under section 431 for giving a false or misleading answer to the question; or
proceedings on a charge of perjury in respect of the answer.
An involved person who attends for examination by an investigator is entitled to be paid the allowance and the expenses prescribed by the regulations.
