### sec.37 Requirement to give information or document for investigation
In investigating a primary licensee, or a business or executive associate of a primary licensee, the chief executive may, by written notice given to the person, require the person to give the chief executive information or a document the chief executive considers relevant to the investigation.
When making the requirement, the chief executive must warn the person it is an offence to fail to comply with the requirement, unless the person has a reasonable excuse.
The person must comply with the requirement, unless the person has a reasonable excuse.
Maximum penalty—200 penalty units or 2 years imprisonment.
It is a reasonable excuse for the person not to comply with the requirement if complying with the requirement might tend to incriminate the person.
The person does not commit an offence against this section if the information or document sought by the chief executive is not in fact relevant to the investigation.
