Regulation 30 Power of the Commissioner to treat DSI matter as having been referred
The Commissioner may treat a DSI matter that comes to the Commissioner’s attention otherwise than by having been referred to the Commissioner under regulation 29 as having been so referred.
Where the Commissioner treats a DSI matter as having been so referred—
regulations 27 and 29 do not apply, or cease to apply, in relation to the matter except to the extent provided for by regulation 29(3); and
regulations 31 and 32 apply in relation to the matter as if it had been referred to the Commissioner by the appropriate authority under regulation 29.
The Commissioner must notify the appropriate authority that the Commissioner is treating a DSI matter as having been so referred.
Where an appropriate authority receives a notification under paragraph (3) in respect of a DSI matter and the matter has not yet been recorded, the appropriate authority must record the matter.
