53 .         Complaint to registration board may be dealt with under this Act 

        (1)         If a registration board or a committee established by a registration board, in the performance of its functions, receives a complaint that comes within section 25, not being a complaint referred to it under section 31 or 43(3), the board or the committee must give a copy of the complaint to the Director.

        (2)         Where a copy of a complaint is given to the Director under subsection (1) or by a registration board under an Act mentioned in Schedule 1, the Director may determine that the complaint is to be treated as one that was made under this Act if — 

            (a)         the board and the Director agree that the complaint is suitable for conciliation under this Act; and

            (b)         the person who made the complaint consents in writing.

        (3)         The fact that the Director makes a determination under subsection (2) does not prevent the board or the committee from performing its functions in respect of the complaint.
