HOSPITAL AND HEALTH BOARDS ACT 2011 - SECT 235
Receipt and information notice for seized thing
235 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 it 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.
