New South Wales Consolidated Acts

POLICE INTEGRITY COMMISSION ACT 1996 - SECT 19

19 Application of Criminal Assets Recovery Act 1990

(1) The Criminal Assets Recovery Act 1990 applies to the Police Integrity Commission in the same way as it applies to the New South Wales Crime Commission.

(2) Accordingly, references in that Act to the Crime Commission are taken to include references to the Police Integrity Commission, so that functions exercisable by the Crime Commission may be exercised by either body.

(3) The Police Integrity Commission may exercise a function under that Act only:

(a) after the PIC Commissioner has consulted with the Crime Commission, or

(b) in conformity with an arrangement referred to in section 84 of this Act,

and must consider whether any such function should instead be exercised by the Crime Commission.

(3A) Subsection (3) does not apply if the exercise of the function by the PIC under that Act relates to an investigation by the PIC concerning misconduct of a Crime Commission officer.

(4) It is intended that the Police Integrity Commission will exercise a function under that Act only in connection with matters arising during or out of its own investigations. However, this subsection does not provide any grounds for an appeal against or any other challenge to the exercise by the Commission of any such function.
