Queensland Consolidated Acts Queensland Consolidated Acts(1) The purpose of this section is to declare how this Act applies to disclosures made to a court or tribunal in a proceeding.
(2) This section applies if a person--
(a) has information that the person may disclose as a public interest disclosure to an appropriate entity; and
(b) discloses the information to a court or tribunal in a proceeding in which the information is relevant and admissible.
(3) The disclosure is a public interest disclosure made to the court or tribunal as an appropriate entity under section 26(1)(b).
(4) The court or tribunal may refer the disclosure to another appropriate entity under section 28.
(5) The fact that a court or tribunal is treated as a public sector entity under this Act, and therefore can be an appropriate entity under section 26(1)(b) to receive a public interest disclosure, does not give a person a right to take a proceeding before the court or tribunal that the person does not have apart from this Act.
