370CD  Initial investigation
  If the Authority:
 (a) receives a request under section 370CH to carry out an investigation in respect of a particular kind of injury, disease or death; or
 (b) of its own initiative, decides that a particular kind of injury, disease or death ought to be investigated to find out whether a Statement of Principles may be determined in respect of it;
the Authority must carry out an investigation to obtain information that would enable the Authority to establish:
 (c) how the injury may be suffered or sustained, the disease may be contracted or the death may occur; and
 (d) the extent (if any) to which the injury, disease or death may be a service injury, a service disease or a service death.
Note 1: After carrying out an investigation under this section, the Authority must either make a Statement of Principles, or make a declaration stating it does not propose to make a Statement of Principles (see section 370CG).
Note 2: This section does not mean that the Authority must carry out an investigation before it can determine a Statement of Principles under section 370CB or 370CC.
