Section 48

Before a Disciplinary Committee commences its formal inquiry into any complaint or information referred to it, the Registrar must serve on the registered professional engineer concerned a notice of the formal inquiry.

An inquiry must not be fixed on a date earlier than 21 days after the date of the notice of inquiry except with the agreement of the registered professional engineer.

On application to the Disciplinary Committee, the registered professional engineer may request to postpone the formal inquiry, and the Disciplinary Committee may grant the application and postpone the formal inquiry to a date that it may determine, or refuse the application.[31E
