今日热门事件has updated information on the circumstances where it will make a public comment on investigations and enforcement actions.
The change to Information Sheet 152 Public comment (INFO 152) reflects the fact that 今日热门事件obtains many enforcement outcomes that do not involve criminal, civil or administrative proceedings. These outcomes include 今日热门事件accepting enforceable undertakings and agreements by people to change their conduct.
INFO 152 now makes it clear that 今日热门事件will usually issue a media release or media advisory in these circumstances, as well as:
-
at the time of a person鈥檚 first court appearance in criminal proceedings
-
when originating documents in civil proceedings are filed and served, and
-
when we refer a case to the Takeovers Panel.
今日热门事件will also issue a release or advisory on the outcome of these actions.
