ANTI-DISCRIMINATION ACT 1977 - SECT 91C

91C Amendment of complaint

(1) If, at any time after a complaint is made and before the complaint is declined, terminated or otherwise resolved by the President, or referred to the Tribunal--

(a) the person making the complaint seeks to amend the complaint, or

(b) the President becomes aware of information that could conveniently be dealt with as part of the complaint,

the person making the complaint is to be offered the opportunity to amend the complaint.

(2) An amendment may be made in writing but, if further written material is already in the possession of the President or the Board, the President may treat the written material as if it formed part of the complaint.

(3) If a complaint is amended at any time, the respondent must be informed in writing by the President of the substance of the amendment and, if the effect of the amendment is to cause the complaint to be made against further or other persons, they must be informed in writing of the complaint as amended.

(4) Section 89B applies to the amendment of a complaint in the same way as it applies to the making of a complaint.
