4 Powers of Tribunal
The Tribunal may, for the purposes of its proceedings—
by summons signed by the Tribunal or the Secretary to the Tribunal, require the attendance before the Tribunal of any person; and
by summons signed by the Tribunal or the Secretary to the Tribunal, require the production of any document, object or material; and
require a person to make an oath or affirmation truly to answer all questions put by the Tribunal or a person appearing before the Tribunal;
and
require a person appearing before the Tribunal to answer any relevant questions put by the Tribunal or a person appearing before the
Tribunal.
Subject to subclause (3), if a person—
who has been served with a summons to attend before the Tribunal fails without reasonable excuse to attend in obedience to the summons;
or
who has been served with a summons to produce any document, object or material fails without reasonable excuse to comply with the summons;
or
misbehaves before the Tribunal, wilfully insults the Tribunal or interrupts the proceedings of the Tribunal; or
refuses to be sworn or to affirm, or to answer a relevant question, when required to do so by the Tribunal, the person is guilty of an offence and liable to a penalty not exceeding
$2 500.
A person is not obliged to answer a question under this clause if the answer to the question would tend to incriminate the person of an offence, or to produce any document, object or material if it or its contents would tend to incriminate the person of an offence.
