List of Recommendations
Recommendation 1 (page 40)
The Commission recommends that subsection (1) of s 316 be repealed.*
Recommendation 2 (page 45)
The Commission recommends that the compounding offence contained in s 316(2) and (3) be retained. However, the offence should be amended as follows:
- The expression “benefit” should be repealed and replaced with the term “advantage”.
- The offence should be extended to cover persons who offer or promise to provide or provide an advantage to another person in consideration for the concealment of information about a serious offence.
The consent of the Attorney-General or Director of Public Prosecutions should be required for all prosecutions.
* This is a majority recommendation.
