147E: Notices to supply information or documents

You could also call this:

“How investigators ask for information or papers from you”

When an investigator wants information or documents from you, they need to give you a notice. This notice is considered properly given if it meets three conditions:

  1. The notice is written down, not just said out loud.

  2. The investigator has signed the notice.

  3. The notice is given to you if you’re the main person involved. If not, it can be given to someone or an organisation that represents you.

The investigator can give this notice based on a rule in another part of the law called section 147(1)(b).
