Retention and return of things seized during search
380 Retention and return of things seized during search
(1) Subject to this section, an investigator may retain a document or other
thing seized during a search if, and for so long as, the investigator
considers that retention of the document or thing is reasonably necessary--
(a) for the purposes of the trust records investigation or complaint
investigation concerned; or
(b) to enable evidence to be obtained for the
purposes of any disciplinary or other proceedings in relation to it under this
Law or the Uniform Rules.
(2) If an investigator retains a document or thing
under this section, he or she must take reasonable steps to return it to the
person from whom it was seized when the reason for its retention no longer
exists.
(3) Nothing in this section prevents an investigator from retaining a
copy of a document or other thing seized, or making a copy and retaining it.
