Limitation on self-incrimination

51 Limitation on self-incrimination

(1) A person who is required under this Part to answer a question or to produce a thing is not excused from answering the question or producing that thing on the ground that the answer to the question or the production of the thing might tend to incriminate the person or make the person liable to a penalty.
(2) The answer to the question or production of the thing by an individual is not admissible in evidence against the individual in any criminal proceedings (except proceedings for an offence under section 53 (1)) if:
(a) the individual objected at the time to answering the question or producing the thing on the ground that it might incriminate the individual, or
(b) the individual was not warned on that occasion that the individual may object to answering the question or producing the thing on the ground that it might incriminate the individual.
