The court may, at any stage of proceedings under this Law, order any person to attend as a witness at those proceedings or to provide any information or thing if the evidence of that person appears to the court to be essential in arriving at a just decision.
A person who is ordered by the court to remain in attendance at the proceedings shall remain in attendance unless that person is excused by the court.
Where a person is ordered to attend proceedings and that person is not excused in accordance with subsection 2 but fails to —
attend or to remain in attendance;
appear at the place and on the date and time to which the proceedings relate; or
produce any book, document, data, object or any other thing specified by order of the court,
that person commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine of two thousand dollars or imprisonment for a term of one year or both; and in the case of a continuing breach, a person may be ordered by the court to pay a further sum of one hundred dollars for each day that such breach continues after the date of its proof.
