162 Misconduct in relation to unattached officers
(1) In this regulation, unless the contrary intention appears, misconduct has the same meaning as in Subdivision D of Division 6 of Part II of the Act.
(2) For the purposes of subsection 63K (1) of the Act, where there are reasonable grounds for belief that an unattached officer may, before he became an unattached officer, have committed misconduct, and where an authorized officer decides that that unattached officer should be charged with misconduct committed by him before he became an unattached officer, that authorized officer may so charge that unattached officer in accordance with this regulation.
(3) For the purposes of subsection 63L (1) of the Act, where there are reasonable grounds for belief that an unattached officer may have committed misconduct while he was an unattached officer, and where an authorized officer decides that that unattached officer should be charged with that misconduct, that authorized officer may so charge that unattached officer in accordance with this regulation.
(4) Where an authorized officer referred to in subregulation (2) or (3) decides that an unattached officer should be charged in accordance with this regulation, that authorized officer shall:
(a) by writing under his hand delivered to that unattached officer, charge that unattached officer with the misconduct referred to in subregulation (2) or (3) as the case requires; and
(b) upon request by the unattached officer so charged, furnish copies of the charge to either or both of the following, that is to say:
(i) to an organization specified by that unattached officer, being an organization within the meaning of the Conciliation and Arbitration Act 1904; or
(ii) to a person, specified by that unattached officer, being a person whom the unattached officer wishes to assist him in relation to the charge.
(5) Where an authorized officer charges an unattached officer for the purposes of section 63K or 63L of the Act, he shall furnish a copy of that charge forthwith to the Board.
