Western Australian Consolidated Acts (1) The provisions of
sections 12 and 13 apply to and in relation to a person holding a special
disciplinary inquiry as if references in those sections and Schedule 3 to
a special inquirer and to a special inquiry were references to that person and
to the special disciplinary inquiry, respectively.
(2) Without limiting
the generality of subsection (1), a person holding a special disciplinary
inquiry may have regard to any information elicited, or findings made, in
another special disciplinary inquiry, in a special inquiry or in an
investigation held under section 24.
(3) If a person
holding a special disciplinary inquiry finds at the conclusion of the special
disciplinary inquiry that —
(a) a
breach of discipline was committed by the respondent, that person shall submit
that finding to the employing authority and recommend to the employing
authority that it act in relation to the respondent under section 86(3)
as if the respondent had admitted the charge under section 86(2); or
(b) no
breach of discipline was committed by the respondent, that person shall submit
that finding to the employing authority and recommend to the employing
authority that it notify the respondent of that finding and that no further
action will be taken in the matter.
