Attorney General's functions to prevail
28 Attorney General's functions to prevail
(1) The Director shall not, without the consent of the Attorney General,
exercise a function in a manner that is inconsistent with the manner in which
the Attorney General has, after the commencement of this section, already
exercised a function in relation to the same matter.
(2) If the Attorney
General has, before the commencement of this section, determined that no bill
of indictment be found in respect of an offence, or has directed that no
further proceedings be taken against a person in respect of an offence, the
Director shall not exercise a function in a manner that is inconsistent with
the determination or direction, unless the Director is satisfied that-- (a)
significant fresh evidence has been produced that was not previously available
for consideration, or
(b) the determination or direction was obtained by
fraud,
and that in all the circumstances it is in the interests of justice
that the matter be re-opened.
