Regulatory Standards Bill

Regulatory reviews and information-gathering powers - Information for regulatory reviews

47: Consequences of failing to comply with notice

You could also call this:

"What happens if you don't share information when asked"

If a group that's not part of the public service doesn't give the information asked for in a section 43 notice, the boss of the regulatory standards Ministry can ask the High Court for help. The boss can ask the court to make the group give the information.

The court might tell the group to give the information if it thinks the information is needed. The court will only do this if the information helps the regulatory standards Ministry check how well the rules are working.
