The court held that regulation 15 authorises a referral back to the PIC for further consideration of fresh information and that a failure to comply strictly with regulation 11(6) does not automatically invalidate subsequent lawful proceedings where section 21 contemplates substantial rather than literal compliance, no prejudice to the applicant is shown and the broadened allegation is capable of amounting to professional misconduct; accordingly the PIC's December 1997 referral was lawful and the judicial review failed.
