Real Estate Agents Act 2008

Complaints and discipline - Complaints Assessment Committees

86: Compliance with requirement to provide information or document

You could also call this:

"Give information or documents as instructed, without charge, within the given time"

Illustration for Real Estate Agents Act 2008

You get a notice that says you must give some information or a document. You must do what the notice says without being charged. You have to do it in the way the notice says and within the time it says, which is at least 10 working days. You do not have to give any information that you would not have to say in court. This means you can keep some things secret if you would be allowed to in court. You also do not have to give the Committee any papers or documents if doing so would break a secrecy rule. This rule must be from an enactment, but not from the Real Estate Agents Act 2008, the Official Information Act 1982, or the Privacy Act 2020.

A person who receives a notice under section 85 must, without charge, comply with the requirement stated in the notice in the manner and within the period (being not less than 10 working days after the notice is given to the person) specified in the notice.
Subsection (1) does not require a person to provide any information or produce any document that would be privileged in a court of law.
No person is required to produce to the Committee any papers, records, documents, or things if compliance with that requirement would be in breach of an obligation of secrecy or non-disclosure imposed on the person by an enactment (other than this Act, the Official Information Act 1982, or the Privacy Act 2020).
