11 Enforcement of information request
Irrespective of whether a proceeding is commenced for an offence against section 10(3)(a), the trustee may apply to the Magistrates' Court for an order directing a person to whom a notice was given under section 10(1) to comply with the notice within a specified time.
On an application under subsection (1) the Magistrates' Court must, if it considers that there are reasonable grounds for believing that the person has refused or failed to comply with the notice, grant the application unless it considers that in the circumstances there are reasonable grounds for not doing so.
In the application of section 135 of the Magistrates' Court Act 1989 to an order under this section—
subsection (3)(a) of section 135 has effect as if it provided for a fine of not more than 10 penalty units for every day during which the default continues; and
subsection (4)(b) of section 135 has effect as if it provided for maximum aggregate sums of 400 penalty units.
