146: Chief executive's determination

You could also call this:

"The chief executive decides if goods match what's in the notice"

The chief executive needs to decide if the goods are related to the notice. This decision must be made within a reasonable time after they form an opinion under section 143. It doesn't matter if the chief executive does an investigation or not - they still have to make this decision. The chief executive's job is to figure out if the goods seem to be connected to what the notice is about.
