84 Commission-initiated reports (1) The commission may prepare a report (a commission-initiated report) of a commission-initiated consideration and give it to anyone the commission considers appropriate. The commission gives a report about a vulnerable person complaint to the ACAT because it involves matters relevant to the ACAT’s power to, on its own initiative— (a) hold a hearing to consider the appointment of a guardian or manager (see Guardianship and Management of Property Act 1991, s 19); or (b) make an order about an enduring power of attorney (see that Act, s 62). (2) However, the commission must not include an adverse comment in relation to a person in a commission-initiated report unless the commission has given the person a reasonable opportunity to respond to the proposed comment.
