Regulation 6 Power to require attendance of witnesses

The adjudicator may, by way of notice in Form 2, require the attendance of any person (including a party to the proceedings) as a witness, at a time and place specified by him, at the hearing of an appeal and require him to answer any questions or produce any documents in his custody, control or possession which relate to any matter in the proceedings.

A person in respect of whom a notice has been issued under paragraph (1) may apply to the adjudicator to vary or set aside the requirement.

A person shall not be bound to comply with the notice issued under paragraph (1) unless he has been given at least 7 days’ notice of the hearing or, if less than 7 days, he has informed the adjudicator that he accepts such notice as he has been given.

No person shall be required to give any evidence or produce any document under paragraph (1) which he could not be required to give or produce on the trial of an action in a court of law.
