(1) A witness at an examination may request the ICAC to allow the witness to be represented by a legal practitioner or agent.
(2) The ICAC must grant a request for legal representation unless the request is for representation by a particular legal practitioner the presence of whom the ICAC believes on reasonable grounds would prejudice the investigation because that legal practitioner is:
(a) a witness in the investigation or another investigation; or
(b) the representative of another witness in the investigation or another investigation; or
(c) a person involved in, or suspected of being involved in, a matter being investigated by the ICAC; or
(d) the representative of a person involved in, or suspected of being involved in, a matter being investigated by the ICAC.
(3) The ICAC may grant a request for representation by an agent other than a legal practitioner if the ICAC considers it appropriate to do so.
(4) The legal practitioner or agent may:
(a) make submissions to the ICAC; and
(b) with the ICAC's approval, ask the witness questions relevant to the investigation.
