Practice question
An officer with Act-conferred access shares only the necessary material with another properly authorized officer for a purpose expressly authorized under the Act. All other applicable safeguards are satisfied. Does Section 32 prohibit that sharing merely because another person receives it?
- Yes; the qualification never has legal effect.
- No; because every disclosure after access is unrestricted.
- Yes; only disclosures to paying private clients are permitted.
- No; because lawful access permanently abolishes confidentiality.
- No; the express authorized-purpose qualification must be applied.
