Can I request a marker for an obstruction or destruction of records offence?
No. A marker, and subsequent immunity under the Bureau’s Immunity Program, is not available for the offences of obstruction, destruction of records or things, or any other offence under the Act that is not a competition offence as described in the response to question 2, above. Instances of obstructive behaviour arising in relation to activity for which immunity is sought should be brought to the attention of the Bureau as soon as possible. The Bureau will determine on a case by case basis whether a recommendation of prosecution to the DPP is warranted for the obstructive behaviour in those cases.
