Western Australian Consolidated Acts Western Australian Consolidated Acts (1) The Board may
require the attendance of any person —
(a) who
applies for the issue of a licence under this Act; or
(b) who
applies for the renewal of a practising certificate under this Act and in
respect of whom the Board wishes to determine whether or not a requirement
made under section 11B(1) has been complied with,
and of any other
person for the purposes of dealing with the application, and may examine or
question any such persons or any witnesses who may attend before the Board,
upon oath, affirmation, or otherwise, and for any such purpose the chairman
may administer an oath or affirmation.
(2) Every summons
issued by the Board requiring the attendance of any person or the production
of any documents shall have the same effect as a subpoena issued by the
Supreme Court in a civil action; and the obedience thereto or non-observance
thereof may be enforced and punished by a judge of the said court sitting in
chambers in the same manner as in the case of the disobedience or
non-observance of a subpoena issued by the said court.
