283 Extending scope of investigation
283 Extending scope of investigation
(1) The designated local regulatory authority may, if it considers it appropriate to do so, extend the scope of an investigation of a complaint so as to include conduct of the respondent revealed during the investigation.
(2) Conduct so revealed, or anything arising from that conduct, may be made the subject of a new complaint.
(3) The new complaint need not be the subject of a separate or further investigation if the designated local regulatory authority is satisfied that the subject matter has already been sufficiently investigated or considered.
