(a)the chief officer, the local policing body or the contractor has received notification (whether or not under this regulation) that civil proceedings relating to any matter have been brought by a member of the public against the chief officer, the local policing body or the contractor, or it otherwise appears to the chief officer, the local policing body or the contractor that such proceedings are likely to be so brought; and
(b)it appears to the chief officer, the local policing body or the contractor (whether at the time of the notification or at any time subsequently) that those proceedings involve or would involve a conduct matter.

the chief officer may deal with the matter in such other manner (if any) as it may determine.
