186 Time and place of examination

(1) The *examination of a person must be conducted: (a) at the time and place specified in the *examination notice; or (b) at such other time and place as the *approved examiner decides on the request of a person referred to in paragraph 188(3)(b), (c) or (d). (2) However, the *approved examiner must: (a) give the person a written notice withdrawing the *examination notice; and (b) if the *examination of the person has started (but not finished)—stop the examination; if, after the examination notice is given: (c) an application has been made under section 42 for the *restraining order to which the notice relates to be revoked; and (d) the court to which the application is made orders that examinations are not to proceed. (3) This section does not prevent the *approved examiner giving the person a further *examination notice if the application for revocation of the *restraining order is unsuccessful. (4) The fact that criminal proceedings have been instituted or have commenced (whether or not under this Act) does not prevent the *examination of a person.
