Consent and conditions regime - Information-gathering powers

41A: Privileges for person required to provide information or document

You could also call this:

"Protection for people who have to share information or documents"

Illustration for Overseas Investment Act 2005

If you have to give information or a document under sections 38 to 41, you have the same rights as a witness in court. This means you can keep some things private, just like a witness can. You get these rights when you provide the information or document, which is required by the Overseas Investment Act 2005, specifically under sections 38 to 41.
