38A Time limit for making complaints

(1) A complaint may be made about the conduct of a veterinary practitioner irrespective of when the conduct is alleged to have occurred.

(2) However, the Board is not required to investigate a complaint if the complaint is made more than 3 years after the conduct is alleged to have occurred, unless the Board determines that it is just and fair to investigate the complaint having regard to the delay and the reasons for the delay.

(3) A determination by the Board under this section is final and cannot be challenged in any proceedings by the complainant or the veterinary practitioner concerned.
