#### 33 Self‑incrimination not an excuse
(1) An individual is not excused from giving information or a document under section 30 on the ground that the information, or the giving of the document, might tend to incriminate the individual or otherwise expose the individual to a penalty or other liability.
(2) However, neither the information given nor the giving of the document is admissible in evidence against the individual in any criminal proceedings, or in any proceedings that would expose the individual to a penalty, other than proceedings for an offence against:
(a) section 28 (false or misleading information given in connection with a UN sanction enforcement law); or
(b) section 32 (failure to comply with requirement to give information or document).
