Fair Trading Act 1986

Miscellaneous provisions

48D: Restrictions on providing compulsorily acquired information and investigative assistance

You could also call this:

“Rules about sharing information that was forced from someone with other countries”

The Commission can’t give information or help to overseas regulators if they got that information or help by forcing someone to provide it. There are only two situations where they can share this kind of information or help:

  1. They can share it with a recognised overseas regulator if there’s an agreement in place to work together.

  2. They must follow the rules set out in sections 48I to 48K when sharing this information or help.

These rules are part of the Fair Trading Act 1986 and they make sure that information that was obtained by force isn’t shared freely with other countries.
