Commentary on provisions of Act Section 4: Power of commanding officer to charge etc
One of the changes made by section 3 to section 117 is that linked cases will actually be referred to the Director rather than deemed to be referred, as provided for in the current section 117. Section 4(1) makes an equivalent change in relation to referrals of linked cases by commanding officers under section 120 of AFA 2006. Section 4(2) applies the Director's powers of charging to linked cases referred under section 120.
