substitute

    (2)     The owner or occupier has a duty of care to a relevant person to tell the person, in writing, what the owner or occupier knows about the asbestos at the premises.

Note     If a form is approved under s 222 for this provision, the form must be used.

    (2A)     To remove any doubt, this section does not require an owner or occupier of premises to find out whether there is asbestos, or anything about the location or condition of any asbestos, at the premises.

Example

An owner or occupier is not required to obtain an asbestos report for the premises.

Note     An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).
