Illustration for Commerce Act 1986

When you read sections 99B to 99P, you need to know what some terms mean. A co-operation arrangement is when the Commission and an overseas regulator work together under section 99E or section 99F. This is so they can share information and help each other.

You also need to know what compulsorily acquired information is. This is information that the Commission gets by using its powers under section 98, 98A, or 98H, and it's not publicly available. Investigative assistance means the Commission helps by using its powers under section 98, 98A, or 98H.

A recognised overseas regulator is one that the Commission has a co-operation arrangement with.
