147T: Investigator to prosecute matter

You could also call this:

“Investigator presents the case to the Board”

If an investigator thinks a complaint should be looked at by the Board, the investigator must take charge of the case at the Board’s hearing. This is called prosecuting the matter. The investigator has to do this unless the Board says otherwise.

The investigator can have someone else speak for them at the hearing. This could be a lawyer or another person who can help present the case.
