Record and report of death, injury, ill-treatment, punishment, casualties, &c.

386.(1) Where any such occurrence as in the last preceding section mentioned
happens or is supposed to have happened, the superintendent at or nearest to
the port at which the fishing boat arrives after the occurrence, or to which
the boat belongs, may inquire into the cause and particulars of the
occurrence, and, if a report as to the occurrence is made to him in pursuance
of the said section, may make on the report an endorsement either that in his
opinion the particulars in the report are true, or otherwise to such effect as
in his opinion his information warrants.

(2) For the purpose of the inquiry, a superintendent shall have all the powers
of a Board of Trade inspector [under section 27 of the Merchant Shipping Act
1979].

(3) If in the course of the inquiry it appears to the superintendent that any
such occurrence as aforesaid has been caused or was accompanied by violence or
the use of any improper means, he shall report the matter to the Board of
Trade, and shall also, if the emergency of the case in his opinion so
requires, take immediate steps for bringing the offender to justice, and may
for that purpose, if in his discretion he thinks it necessary, cause him to be
arrested, and thereafter dealt with in due course of law.]
