cause a record to be made of the complaint;

(b)

determine whether the complaint is a serious complaint; and

(c)

notify the complainant and the person complained about of the recording of the complaint and that determination.

(2)

Nothing in this regulation shall require the Commission to notify a person of any matter if it is of the opinion that to do so—

would prejudice the investigation of that complaint, or

(b)

would be contrary to the public interest.

(3)

For the purposes of paragraph (1)(b), a complaint is a serious complaint if it would, if proved, be likely to result in the person involved being dismissed or required to resign.
