Section 168C

Despite the provisions of any written law or any rule of law, any book, document, statement or other information obtained by a police officer or a Commercial Affairs Officer in the exercise of his or her powers under Divisions 1 and 2 of Part 4 and sections 111, 258, 260, 261 and 280 of the Criminal Procedure Code 2010 may be provided to the Authority, if the Public Prosecutor is satisfied that such information is necessary to enable the Authority to investigate or bring an action for a civil penalty order against a person in respect of a contravention of any provision in Part 12.

To avoid doubt, any book, document, statement or other information provided to the Authority under subsection (1) is not inadmissible in any civil proceedings under this Act to which the Authority is a party by reason only that it was first obtained by a police officer or a Commercial Affairs Officer in the exercise of his or her powers under the Criminal Procedure Code 2010, and the admissibility thereof is to be determined in accordance with the rules of evidence under written law and any relevant rules of law.
