87LProcedure if Board investigates complaint or matter

1. This section applies if the Board investigates—

2. a complaint under section 87I; or
3. a matter on its own initiative under section 87K.

4. The Board must, in the notice to the self-containment certification authority given under section 87J(3) or 87K(2), as applicable,—

5. state that the Board has reason to believe that 1 or more grounds exist entitling it to exercise the disciplinary powers under section 87Q; and
6. provide particulars that will clearly inform the self-containment certification authority of the ground or grounds; and
7. give the self-containment certification authority a reasonable opportunity to make written submissions on the complaint or matter.

8. The Board must consider any written submissions that the self-containment certification authority makes.

9. A self-containment certification authority’s failure to make written submissions after being given a reasonable opportunity to do so does not limit the Board in investigating or determining the complaint or matter.
