199 Referral to Supreme Court
If a person fails, without reasonable excuse, to comply with a requirement made by the Chief Municipal Inspector, the Chief Municipal Inspector may certify the failure in writing to the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court may inquire into the failure and may—
make an order requiring the person to comply with the requirement made by the Chief Municipal Inspector within the period fixed by the Supreme Court; or
instead of, or in addition to, an order under paragraph (a), if the Supreme Court is satisfied that the person failed, without a reasonable excuse, to comply with the requirement of the Chief Municipal Inspector, punish the person as if the person had been guilty of contempt of court.
