SECTION 186   Time and place of examination  

186(1)    
The * examination of a person must be conducted:

(a) at the time and place specified in the * examination notice; or

(b) at such other time and place as the * approved examiner decides on the request of a person referred to in paragraph 188(3)(b) , (c) or (d).

186(2)    
However, the * approved examiner must:

(a) give the person a written notice withdrawing the * examination notice; and

(b) if the * examination of the person has started (but not finished) - stop the examination;

if, after the examination notice is given:

(c) an application has been made under section 42 for the * restraining order to which the notice relates to be revoked; and

(d) the court to which the application is made orders that examinations are not to proceed.

186(3)    
This section does not prevent the * approved examiner giving the person a further * examination notice if the application for revocation of the * restraining order is unsuccessful.

186(4)    
The fact that criminal proceedings have been instituted or have commenced (whether or not under this Act) does not prevent the * examination of a person.
