are notified to you by the Attorney-General, claim compensation by reasons of the institution of the prosecutions or the events which occurred in connection with them and, if so, the amount of compensation (if any) that should be offered to each such person in full settlement of such a claim:

      AND We require you, in conducting your inquiry -

          (a) to bear in mind Our intention that, as far as possible, your inquiry be conducted with as little formality as circumstances will allow and that, as far as possible, submissions and evidence be received in writing;

          (b) to assume that in each of the prosecutions there was a lack of due care associated either with the decision to institute the proceedings or with the conduct of the proceedings or with both that decision and the conduct of the proceedings but that there was not any conduct associated with the prosecutions which, in the event of litigation would found an award of aggravated or exemplary damages;

          (c) to take into account the acceptance of liability by the Commonwealth recited above;

          (d) to take into account the general circumstances surrounding the charges and the conduct of the prosecutions as, consistent with any assumption that you are required by these Our Letters Patent to make, you may find them to have been, but, and with a view to avoiding a prolonged inquiry, to bear in mind Our intention that you should refrain from an investigation of the evidence in the prosecution of alleged conspiracies;

          (e) to exclude from your inquiry the claims of any person named in the Schedule in respect of whom the Attorney-General notifies you that proceedings for damages in relation to the prosecutions are pending; and

          (f) to take into account the convictions referred to in the Schedule and any further convictions of which you may be notified by the Attorney-General:

      AND We require you as expeditiously as possible to make your inquiry and to furnish to Our Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia a report of the results of your inquiry and your recommendations.

      Schedule

          (a) Persons charged with conspiring to defraud the Commonwealth against whom conspiracy charges were withdrawn and no substantive charges were preferred.
