(a) to attend before the examiner or to take an oath or to answer the question or to produce the document or thing, as the case may be; and

(b) to pay the costs occasioned by the person's failure or refusal.

(3) An application for an order under subrule (2) shall be made with notice to the person against whom the order is sought, unless the Court otherwise orders.
