The regulator may serve a notice on a person specified in regulation 227 requiring the provision of any information it thinks necessary for the purposes set out in section 26(2).

A notice requiring the provision of information under this Chapter is referred to as an “information notice”.

The regulator may specify in the information notice that the information is to be provided by any means it thinks necessary, including a written response or an oral interview.

Where information is provided orally, the regulator may record that information in any manner which in the regulator’s view is appropriate.

The notice must specify a period within which the person must provide the information specified.

An information notice may require the creation of documents, or documents of a description, specified in the notice.

A requirement to provide information or create a document is a requirement to do so in a legible form.
