DANGEROUS PRISONERS (SEXUAL OFFENDERS) ACT 2003 - SECT 25

25 Duty to disclose

(1) This section applies to an application for a division 3 order and for the hearing of a matter under section 22.

(2) The Attorney-General's duty to disclose evidence or things in the Attorney-General's possession is the same duty to disclose the prosecution has in a criminal proceeding.

(3) The Attorney-General must disclose the evidence or things--

(a) for an application for a division 3 order--at least 7 days before the application is heard; or
(b) for the hearing of a matter under section 22--as soon as practicable after--
(i) the Attorney-General is given a copy of the warrant issued under section 20 for the prisoner to whom the matter relates; and
(ii) the warrant is executed.

(4) If the Attorney-General can not comply with the time requirement because the thing to be disclosed was not in the Attorney-General's possession in sufficient time, including, for example, because the thing did not exist at the time, the Attorney-General must disclose the thing as soon as practicable after it comes into the Attorney-General's possession.
