Self-incrimination

46. Self-incrimination



(1) A person is not excused from answering a question, providing information
or producing a document or thing, when required to do so under this Act, on

person liable to a penalty.

(2) However, if the person objects to answering the question, providing the
information or producing the document or thing on that ground, the answer,
information, document or thing is not admissible against the person in any
criminal proceedings other than-

   (a)  proceedings for an offence against this Act; or

   (b)  proceedings for an offence in the nature of perjury.
