54: Person has privileges of witness in court

You could also call this:

"You have special rights when giving information, just like in court"

When you provide information or documents under section 53, you have the same privileges as if you were a witness in a court. This means you have certain rights and protections when giving information or handing over documents. These privileges are the same as what a witness would have if they were speaking in court.
