These disciplinary procedures were drafted in close consultation with the Attorney General's office to ensure they are in line with legislative and case law norms. Section 78(4)(c) is concerned with outlining, although not exhaustively, what evidence the fitness to practise committee of the council may choose to call when considering a complaint. It is appropriate that the fitness to practise committee would have the option when it considers it appropriate to call for direct testimony from the complainant. This would be in addition to the original complaint submitted by that person.
