FAIR TRADING INSPECTORS ACT 2014 - SECT 47
Receipt and information notice for seized thing
47 Receipt and information notice for seized thing
(1) This section applies if an inspector seizes anything under this division
unless— (a) the inspector reasonably believes there is no-one apparently in
possession of the thing or the thing has been abandoned; or
(b) because of
the condition, nature and value of the thing it would be unreasonable to
require the inspector to comply with this section.
(2) The inspector must, as
soon as practicable after seizing the thing, give an owner or person in
control of the thing before it was seized— (a) a receipt for the thing that
generally describes the thing and its condition; and
(b) an information
notice about the decision to seize it.
(3) However, if an owner or person
from whom the thing is seized is not present when it is seized, the receipt
and information notice may be given by leaving them in a conspicuous position
and in a reasonably secure way at the place at which the thing is seized.
(4)
The receipt and information notice may— (a) be given in the same document;
and
(b) relate to more than 1 seized thing.
(5) The inspector may delay
giving the receipt and information notice if the inspector reasonably suspects
giving them may frustrate or otherwise hinder an investigation by the
inspector under this Act.
(6) However, the delay may be only for so long as
the inspector continues to have the reasonable suspicion and remains in the
vicinity of the place at which the thing was seized to keep it under
observation.
