(Public Officers) Regulation 2006

under the

Criminal Procedure Act 1986

Her Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Criminal Procedure Act 1986.

BOB DEBUS, M.P.,

Attorney General

Explanatory note
The object of this Regulation is to declare certain health professional registration boards as public bodies for the purposes of the Criminal Procedure Act 1986. The effect of this is to enable officers or employers of such bodies to commence proceedings in the same way as police officers, rather than as private prosecutors, and to have the advantage of other protections conferred on prosecutions conducted by public officers. This Regulation also amends the fees payable for filing an appeal, or an application for leave to appeal, to the District Court.

This Regulation is made under the Criminal Procedure Act 1986, including sections 3 (1), 4A and 4 (1) (the general regulation-making power).
