Person in contempt may be detained
15 Person in contempt may be detained
If an examiner proposes to make an application under clause 13(1) in respect of a person, he or she may, during the hearing concerned, direct a police officer to detain the person for the purpose of bringing the person before the Supreme Court for the hearing of the application.
If the person is detained under subclause (1)—
the examiner must apply to the Court as soon as practicable under clause 13(1) in respect of the person; and
the person must, subject to subclause (3), be brought before the Court as soon as practicable.
The
Court may—
direct that the person be released from detention on condition that he or she will appear before the Court in relation to the application; or
order that the person continue to be detained until the application is determined.
The
Court may also impose any other condition on the release, for
example—
that the person surrenders his or her passport; or
that the person gives an undertaking as to his or her living arrangements; or
that the person reports as required to a law enforcement agency.
The
Court may at any time vary or revoke a condition imposed under subclause (4).
