23.—(1) This regulation applies where a complaint has been recorded by the Chief Executive.

(2) But this regulation does not apply to a complaint if it is one that has been, or must be, referred to the Commission under regulation 21, unless the complaint is for the time being—

(a)referred back to the Chief Executive under regulation 22; or

(b)the subject of a determination under regulation 38 (power of the Commission to determine the form of an investigation).

(5) If the Chief Executive determines that the complaint is not so suitable, the Chief Executive must make arrangements for the complaint to be investigated by the Chief Executive.

(6) A determination that a complaint is suitable for being subjected to local resolution may not be made unless the Chief Executive is satisfied that—

(a)the conduct complained of (even if it were proved) would not justify the bringing of any criminal or disciplinary proceedings against the person whose conduct is complained of; and

(b)the conduct complained of (even if it were proved) would not involve the infringement of a person’s rights under Article 2 or 3 of the Convention (within the meaning of the Human Rights Act 1998(1)).
