This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.

Valuers Bill

Regulation of public valuers - Disciplinary powers of Board

40: Who prosecutes complaint

You could also call this:

"Who speaks up for a complaint?"

Illustration for Valuers Bill

You will have a person to prosecute a complaint at an inquiry. This person is appointed by either the Valuer-General or the Institute. The Institute can appoint this person if they made the complaint or if someone investigated the complaint under section 36(4)(a). You can think of the person appointed as someone who will speak up for the complaint. They can speak for themselves at the inquiry or have someone like a lawyer speak for them. This is part of a proposed change to the law about public valuers. The person appointed to prosecute the complaint has the right to be heard. They can also have someone represent them at the inquiry. This is how the complaint will be handled under the proposed new law.
