A direction under subsection (1) must state that the direction must be complied with —

then and there; or

within a specified period.

A person to whom a direction is given under subsection (1) must not, without reasonable excuse, fail to comply with the direction.

A person to whom a direction is given under subsection (1) must not provide information that is false or misleading in a material particular in purported compliance with the direction.

In subsection (2) —
