INDEPENDENT COMMISSIONER AGAINST CORRUPTION ACT 2017 (NO 23 OF 2017) - SECT 44

    (1)     A witness, or another person or body appearing, at a public inquiry may request the ICAC to allow the witness, person or body 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.
