84F. Power to examine person
Feedback & supportLast amended by an amending law of 2024.
The Commissioner may examine orally any person who appears to be acquainted with the facts or circumstances of the matter —
whether before or after that person or anyone else is charged with an offence in connection with the matter; and
whether or not that person is to be called as a witness in any inquiry, trial or other proceedings in connection with the matter.
Any person examined under this section is bound to state truly what the person knows of the facts and circumstances of the matter, except that the person need not say anything that might expose the person to a criminal charge, penalty or forfeiture.
A statement made by the person must —
be reduced to writing;
be read over to the person;
if the person does not understand English — be interpreted in a language that the person understands; and
after correction (if necessary) — be signed by the person.
