Conditional release of witness
72 Conditional release of witness
The release of a witness under a release order may (but need not) be made subject to one or more of the following conditions (or to any other conditions)—
that the witness appear and report himself or herself before the examining Commissioner in accordance with the terms of the order unless excused from attendance or until released from further attendance by the examining Commissioner presiding at the relevant examination,
conditions for the purpose of ensuring the further attendance of the witness before the examining Commissioner (for example the provision of sureties by the witness, the surrender of any passport held by the witness, a requirement as to where the witness is to live and regular reporting by the witness to the examining Commissioner).
Note.
It is an offence to fail, without reasonable excuse, to comply with a condition of a release order—see section 150 (3).
From time to time, the examining Commissioner may by order amend, revoke or add to those conditions.
