440N Investigation of former councillors
(1) The Departmental Chief Executive may conduct an investigation for the purpose of determining whether a former councillor engaged in misconduct during the period in which the former councillor was a councillor.
(2) For that purpose, sections 440H and 440M apply as if a reference in those sections to a councillor includes a reference to a former councillor.
(3) The Departmental Chief Executive may before, during or after an investigation into an allegation of misconduct by a former councillor decide to refer the matter to the Civil and Administrative Tribunal for consideration.
(4) Section 440J applies to the referral of the matter to the Tribunal in the same way as it applies to a referral of a matter relating to a councillor to the Tribunal.
