Section 3ZQR — Crimes Act 1914: Documents must be produced

Text of the provision Official document

(1) A person is not excused from producing a document under section 3ZQN or 3ZQO on the ground that to do so: (a) would contravene any other law; or (b) might tend to incriminate the person or otherwise expose the person to a penalty or other liability; or (c) would disclose material that is protected against disclosure by legal professional privilege or any other duty of confidence; or (d) would be otherwise contrary to the public interest. (2) However, neither: (a) the production of the document; nor (b) any information, document or thing obtained as a direct or indirect consequence of producing the document; is admissible in evidence against the person in proceedings other than proceedings for an offence against section 137.1, 137.2 or 149.1 of the Criminal Code that relates to this Act. (3) A person is not liable to any penalty by reason of his or her producing a document when required to do so under section 3ZQN or 3ZQO. (4) The fact that a person is not excused under subsection (1) from producing a document does not otherwise affect a claim of legal professional privilege that anyone may make in relation to that document.
