75  Notice to give information or to produce document or thing

Giving notice
 (1) For the purpose of investigating a corruption issue, the Integrity Commissioner may, by notice in writing, require a person to do either or both of the following:
 (a) give the information specified in the notice;
 (b) produce the documents or things specified in the notice;
if the Integrity Commissioner has reasonable grounds to suspect that the information, documents or things will be relevant to the investigation.
Note: In certain cases, disclosing the existence of a notice, or any information about it, is an offence: see section 77B.
 (2) The Integrity Commissioner may require that information specified under paragraph (1)(a) is to be given in writing.
 (3) The notice must:
 (a) be served on the person; and
 (b) be signed by the Integrity Commissioner; and
 (c) specify the period within which, and the manner in which, the person must comply with the notice.
 (4) The period specified under paragraph (3)(c) must be at least 14 days after the day the notice is served on the person, unless the Integrity Commissioner considers that allowing a 14‑day period would significantly prejudice a corruption investigation, in which case a shorter period may be specified.
 (5) If a shorter period is specified under paragraph (3)(c), the Integrity Commissioner must record, in writing:
 (a) the name of the corruption investigation that would be prejudiced; and
 (b) why a 14‑day period would significantly prejudice the investigation.
 (6) The Integrity Commissioner may serve a notice on a person without holding a hearing.
