200PWhat happens if person affected by inquiry wishes to call witness
If the person who is affected or is likely to be affected by an inquiry wishes to call a witness to give evidence under section 200N(2)(d), the president must take the necessary steps under the rules of procedure to secure the attendance of the witness, unless it is impracticable to do so.
If it is impracticable to secure the attendance of a witness, the president must note that fact in the record of proceedings.
Despite subsection (1), if the attendance of a witness is requested by the person affected or likely to be affected and the court of inquiry is satisfied that the attendance of that witness is not properly required by that person, any cost incurred by the Crown in procuring the attendance of the witness may be charged to, and recovered as a debt due by, the person affected or likely to be affected.
