Evidence

(1) The Court may take evidence on oath, affirmation or affidavit and for that purpose the Court may administer an oath or affirmation. (2) The Court may decide not to carry out any investigations or, as the case may be, may decide to discontinue any investigations where, (a) the Court reasonably believes that the complainant does not wish that the inquiry be made or continued; (b) a period of more than twelve months has elapsed since the doing of the act and the complaint was not lodged before the expiration of a period of twelve months since the doing of the act; or (c) the Court is of the opinion that the complaint is frivolous, vexatious, misconceived or lacking in substance. (3) Where the Court decides not to carry out or decides to discontinue any investigations in relation to a complaint, it shall give notice in writing to the complainant of that decision and of the reasons therefor within two weeks of making that decision.
