121  Individuals not excused from giving information or producing documents in certain circumstances

 (1) An individual is not excused from giving information or producing a document under section 120 on the ground that giving the information or producing the document might tend to incriminate the person in relation to an offence.

Note: A body corporate is not entitled to claim the privilege against self‑incrimination.

 (2) However:

 (a) the information given or document produced; and

 (b) the giving of the information or the production of the document; and

 (c) any information, document or thing obtained as a direct or indirect consequence of the giving of the information or the production of the document;

are not admissible in evidence against the individual in criminal proceedings other than proceedings for an offence against:

 (d) section 120 of this Act; or

 (e) section 137.1 or 137.2 of the Criminal Code (false or misleading information or documents) in relation to giving the information or producing the document.

 (3) If, at general law, an individual would otherwise be able to claim the privilege against self‑exposure to a penalty (other than a penalty for an offence) in relation to giving information or producing a document under section 120, the individual is not excused from giving the information or producing the document under that provision on that ground.

Note: A body corporate is not entitled to claim the privilege against self‑exposure to a penalty.
