The request was partially successful.

(Not the real) Bob Neil

Dear Australian Securities and Investments Commission,

I write to seek access to documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth).

I seek access to documents containing:

1. any agenda item, minute, or record of proceedings relating to a formal resolution of the Commission to adopt a policy of refraining from investigating allegations of criminal offences, created under legislation that ASIC administers;

2. any agenda item, minute, or record of proceedings of the ASIC Commission Committees or ASIC Management Committees relating to an ASIC policy of refraining from investigating allegations of criminal offences, created under legislation that ASIC administers;

3. any instrument of delegation which confers a discretion upon an employee or officer of ASIC to decide whether to investigate, or refrain from investigating, allegations of criminal offences created under legislation that ASIC administers.

I am content to receive any such documents in electronic form.

Please contact me promptly if the scope of this request will require extensive search or review such as to delay provision of access to the documents until more than 30 days after the date of this request, so as to discuss any potential refinement of the request, or the possibility of access being granted in phases.

Yours faithfully,

(Not the real) Bob Neil

Krystal Fung, Australian Securities and Investments Commission
