Part 6: Enforcement Section 142: Information notices
This section makes provision about information notices. An information notice can be used to require a controller, a processor or any other person to provide the Commissioner with specified information within a certain time period.
	Subsection (1) provides the Commissioner with a power to give an information notice.
	Subsection (2) provides that the information notice must explain why the information is needed and whether it is given under subsection (1)(a), (b)(i) or (b)(ii).
	Subsection (3) provides that the notice may include requirements about the information to be provided and how and when that information should be provided.
	Subsection (4) requires an information notice to provide details about rights under sections 162 and 164 (appeals etc) and the consequences of a failure to comply with it.
	Subsection (5) provides that an information notice must not require compliance with the measures in the notice before the end of the period in which an appeal could be brought.
	Subsection (6) provides that if an appeal is brought, the person concerned need not comply with the information notice until the appeal has been withdrawn or decided.
	Subsection (7) provides that subsections (5) and (6) do not apply where the Commissioner considers there is an urgent need for the information in question to be provided. In these circumstances, however, the information notice must allow the person concerned at least 24 hours to provide the information requested.
	Subsection (8) permits the Commissioner to cancel an assessment notice by written notice to the person to whom it was given.
