(b) it appears to that panel (whether at the time of the notification or at any time subsequently) that those proceedings involve or would involve a conduct matter.
(2) The police and crime panel—
(a) shall consider whether it is itself the police and crime panel in relation to the relevant office holder concerned; and
(b) if it is not, shall notify that police and crime panel about the proceedings, or the proposal to bring them, and about the circumstances that make it appear as mentioned in sub-paragraph (1)(b).
(3) Where a police and crime panel determines for the purposes of this regulation that it is the police and crime panel in relation to a relevant office holder to whom any conduct matter relates, it shall record that matter.
(4) Nothing in paragraph (3) shall require the police and crime panel to record any conduct matter if it is satisfied that the matter—
(a) has been recorded as a complaint under regulation 9(5); or
(b) has been, or is already being, dealt with by means of criminal proceedings against the person to whose conduct the matter relates.
(5) For the purposes of this regulation civil proceedings involve a conduct matter if—
(a) they relate to such a matter; or
(b) they are proceedings that relate to a matter in relation to which a conduct matter, or evidence of a conduct matter, is or may be relevant.
