Can I just make one point? I would understand that if it related to criminal proceedings but this is about incriminating a person in relation to anything. This is not linked to a crime. There is no requirement to produce documents, give information or answer questions that "might tend to incriminate the person", not in relation to a criminal act but in relation to a person's failure to perform his or her duty, for example. The terminology here is loose and I wanted to make that point.
