A person who, having been required by the Cayman Authority under this Law to produce any documents which are in his possession or under his control, fails so to do, within such time, or any extension thereof, as may be specified by the Cayman Authority by notice, commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine of ten thousand dollars and to imprisonment for two years.
A person who, contrary to section 13, informs any person, other than his attorney, of the fact of the issue of a request or of any communication relevant to the matter to which the request relates, commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine of one thousand dollars and to imprisonment for six months.
Where any documents or other written information have not been produced in pursuance of a notice served under this Law by the Cayman Authority, any constable of the rank of Inspector or above, acting on the written instructions of the Cayman Authority may apply to any court, magistrate or justice of the peace for the issue of a search warrant to search for and seize any such documents or other written information, and thereupon the court, magistrate or justice of the peace shall issue a warrant to search for and seize the documents or information concerned. Such warrant, mutatis mutandis, shall be in form similar to, and shall confer the same powers of entry, search and seizure as, any search warrant issued under section 25 of the Criminal Procedure Code (2014 Revision).
Any documents or other written information seized under a warrant issued under subsection (3) shall be brought immediately to the Cayman Authority to be dealt with according to law.
A person who, when required so to do in accordance with the instructions given by the Cayman Authority, or any subpoena served upon him, refuses to attend as required or to provide testimony in response to a request, commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine of five thousand dollars and to imprisonment for one year.
Subsection (5) is without prejudice to the provisions of any other law with regard to the liability of any person to be dealt with for failure to comply with any subpoena or other order issued by any court, magistrate or justice of the peace and without prejudice to the provisions of any other law with regard to the liability of any person to be dealt with for any unlawful attempt to obtain from any person or body any confidential information; but no person shall be punished both under this section and any other law for an offence relating to the same failure to comply with the same order.
