94 Other contempts
A person is guilty of contempt if that person –
being called on or examined as a witness before the hearing of an appeal, without reasonable excuse – refuses to be sworn or make an affirmation; or refuses or otherwise fails to answer a question put to that person by the TRAB in respect of the matter into which the TRAB is inquiring; or refuses to answer a question properly put by an officer of the TRAB or by a witness or counsel authorised to appear for a witness; or having appeared before the hearing of an appeal as a witness, fails to continue to attend the hearing from day to day without having been excused from doing so by the TRAB; or does any act which, if the TRAB were a court of law having power to commit for contempt, would be in contempt of that court.
