Part 6: Enforcement Section 147: Assessment notices: restrictions
This section seeks to substantively replicate section 41B of the 1998 Act, which sets out certain limitations in respect of assessment notices.
	Subsection (1) provides that an assessment notice does not require a person to do something to the extent that requiring the person to do so would involve an infringement of the privileges of either House of Parliament.
	Subsections (2) and (3) provide exemptions from complying with an assessment notice where this would result in disclosure of communications between a professional legal adviser and their client in respect of the client’s obligations under the data protection legislation or in respect of proceedings brought against the client.
	Subsection (4) explains the terms "client" and "communication" for the purposes of subsection (2) and (3).
	Subsection (5) precludes the Commissioner from giving an assessment notice to a controller or processor with respect to the processing of personal data for journalistic, academic, artistic or literary purposes.
	Subsection (6) lists other bodies to whom the Commissioner cannot give an assessment notice.
