Regulation 32 Power of Director General to treat DSI matters as having been referred
The Director General may treat a DSI matter that comes to the Director General’s attention otherwise than by having been referred to the Director General under regulation 31 as having been so referred.
Where the Director General treats a DSI matter as having been referred to the Director General—
regulations 29 and 31 do not apply, or cease to apply, in relation to the matter except to the extent provided for by regulation 31(3); and
regulations 33 and 36 apply in relation to the matter as if it had been referred to the Director General by the chief executive under regulation 31.
The Director General must notify the chief executive that the Director General is treating a DSI matter as having been referred to the Director General.
Where the chief executive receives a notification under paragraph (3) in respect of a DSI matter and the matter has not yet been recorded, the chief executive must record the matter.
