Digital Board inquiries require natural justice, recorded reasons, civil-court powers, and safeguards against operational disruption.
The Board must operate independently and, as far as practicable, through a digital office. It must determine whether sufficient grounds exist before commencing an inquiry, record reasons for closure or further action, and conduct inquiries according to principles of natural justice. The Board has specified civil-court powers for evidence gathering and inspection, but cannot disrupt day-to-day functioning by restricting premises access or taking custody of essential equipment. Interim orders require a hearing and recorded reasons, while false or frivolous complaints may result in warnings or costs.
