Paragraph 5: Duties of the Commission on references under paragraph 4
74.Where a complaint has been referred by an appropriate authority to the Commission under paragraph 4, the Commission will have a duty to determine whether or not that complaint is to be investigated.

In such a case, the Commission must notify the complainant and, providing there is no prejudice to any investigation, notify the person complained against.
