I understand; that is my point. What is to stop somebody under investigation from going to the High Court to seek an injunction? Section 9 inquiries specifically allow for findings that impugn a good name. What is to stop somebody from saying "This is a witch hunt; this is a Star Chamber. I am going straight to the High Court and I am stopping this inquiry."?
