(1)The Commissioner must consult a person before giving the person a compliance notice.
(2)But subsection (1) does not require the Commissioner to consult a person on any matter if the Commissioner is satisfied that the person has already been consulted, or given the opportunity to be consulted, on that matter in connection with a standards investigation (see Chapter 8).
(3)The failure of a person to participate in a consultation does not prevent the Commissioner from giving the person a compliance notice.
