(2) The department may, for the purposes of obtaining a determination under this section, supply to the Labour Inspector any information provided by the self-employed person. (3) The Labour Inspector may, for the purposes of carrying out the Inspector's functions under this section, request the self-employed person to provide any further information relevant to the matter being determined by the Labour Inspector. (4) A Labour Inspector must, as soon as practicable after making a determination, serve a copy on the self-employed person and the department. (5) The consequence of a determination is that it is prima facie evidence of the matter determined.
