29 Report of investigation to be given to accreditation holder

(1) An authorised officer of the Board investigating a complaint is to prepare a written report on the results of the investigation.

(2) The report may contain a recommendation of the authorised officer who prepared it that the Board give consideration to taking certain action in respect of the accreditation holder concerned.

(3) An authorised officer is to give a copy of the report to the accreditation holder who is the subject of the complaint with a notice that states that the accreditation holder may make written submissions to the Board within 21 days after the date of the notice.

(4) After the 21-day period for making submissions has expired:

(a) an authorised officer is to give to the Board a copy of the report, and

(b) the Board must consider the report taking into account the submissions received within that period.

(5) If the Board requires an authorised officer to undertake further investigation of a complaint after the furnishing of a report under this section, this section applies to that further investigation.

Note: An example of when section 29 (5) would operate is if the Board adjourned a meeting at which a complaint was being considered to enable further investigation of the complaint to be carried out. (See section 30 (3) (b)).
