Regulation 91 Power of Court to administer oaths and compel witnesses

(1) The Court shall, on the hearing of a dispute referred to it for recommendation or determination under Regulation 90 or on the hearing of an appeal under Schedule 3, have power to take evidence on oath and for that purpose may cause to be administered oaths to persons attending as witnesses at that hearing.

(2) Any person who, upon examination on oath authorised by this Regulation, wilfully makes any statement which is material for that purpose and which he or she knows to be false or does not believe to be true commits an offence.

(3) The Court may, by giving notice in that behalf in writing to any person, require that person to attend at such time and place as is specified in the notice to give evidence in relation to a dispute referred to the Court for recommendation or determination under Regulation 90 or an appeal under Schedule 3, or to produce any documents in the person's possession, custody or control which relate to any such matter.

(4) A notice under paragraph (3) may be given either by delivering it to the person to whom it relates or by sending it by post in a prepaid registered letter addressed to that person at the address at which he or she ordinarily resides or, in the case of a relevant company, at the address at which the relevant company ordinarily carries on any profession, business or occupation.
