20. Reliance on information available

Official English translation. Where it differs from the Sinhala or Tamil text, the Act itself says which text prevails.

(1)

Where, at any time during an investigation, any party interested –

(a)

refuses access to, or otherwise does not provide any necessary information within the time determined by the Director-General; or

(b)

otherwise significantly impedes the investigation, the Director-General may reach preliminary and final determinations (affirmative or negative), on the basis of the information available, including information contained in the application.

(2)

The Director-General shall take due account of any difficulties experienced by parties interested, in particular small companies, in supplying information requested for, and as such shall provide any practicable assistance or may extend the time granted for the submission of any specified information, as the case may be.
