Paragraph 3 Procedure in relation to Investigating Committee: preliminary matters

Any notification and invitation under section 20(9)(a) of the Act shall be made by notice in writing given on behalf of the Committee by the Registrar, and a copy shall be given to the Chairman.

Where an allegation of a kind mentioned in section 20(1)(c) of the Act (allegation that a registered chiropractor has been convicted of a criminal offence) falls within a class determined by the General Council as one unlikely to have material relevance to a person’s fitness to practise chiropractic, the notice given under paragraph (1) shall so state (but shall nonetheless invite observations as to whether it has such relevance in that case).
